    Has anyone done anything with the newer high BC 25 cal bullets as yet? I think BlackJack has stopped production, but Berger has the 135gr.

    Yup, @GWH I have a 25CM running 133g Berger Elite Hunters, normally carry stock of the Elite Hunter and 135g LRHT, hoping for more soon.

    22" 1:7.5 trying AR-2209 and StaBall 6.5 at this stage, but RL-17 would be nice to try.
