Ritch shot the 25X6.8 this weekend for the first time. 24" Savage barrel set up for pressure testing. He called me in the afternoon and gave me some rough group sizes for me to dream about. He shot six bullets from 75 to 100 grains over CFE powder. The pressures were realtively low all and velocites while in the low 257 Roberts area could be improved on. CFE is probaly not the powder for this one so the usual suspects wil be tried in the very near future. The cartidge is putting out aceptable peformance right from the start when it comes to groups so that is a nice thing to happen. Six different bullets shot at one charge weight in each bullet, with no attempt made for load work up resulted in groups less than 0.900, I don't have the targets in front of me, down to, shall we say, more than adequate. This is the good one that Ritch wanted to send me. 75 grain Sierra HP. More powders to try this week that should be interesting. Greg

I have been keeping an eye out for any info on this cartridge. I frequent here and the 68 forum every couple of days looking and hoping for more info and a release for sale statement. I have everything except for the 25x68 barrel for a new build. It is going to be my new coyote and deer rifle.

Shaking down three at once is not exactly most rapido. LOL Greg

Any updates?
Hoping for a possible release date, I want to order a barrel so I can get started with the wait.
