    Apparently (from podcast) Brian Litz put a lot of time into the 133/135 Bergers, and results so far are really promising from the US comp shooters and hunters.

    Here is a 25 cal Berger 135 next to a 7mm Hornady 180 ELDM

    You'll need a 1:7.5" twist for reliable stability. Some US guys using 1:7.8" for the 'new magnums'.

    Not sure what the Hornady 134 ELDM will be like, supply wise.

    What prices are you guys paying for them? I jumped on 1k of the 135's on clearance at £49.50 per 100.

    Was quoted £68 per 100 for ELD-M's so no-bueno here.

    Got one box of Peterson LR 25 Creed headstamped brass, but will probably land up using 6.5 brass necked down.
    Jump on the Alpha 25CM SRP brass, surely that's up your way, it's superb brass.
