I bought this 25 BR 10-12 years ago & never shot it much, used it on chucks a few times & stuck it in the safe. Yesterday I pulled it out & put a 3X12 Burris & top & went to the range. The old loads seem to shoot as good as ever. Using 33 grs of H335 & the 87 gr Speer TNT still shoots little tiny groups, although the 85 gr Ballastic Tip does a little better & is a better game bullet.
This group was shot today at 50 yds, quite cold outside & a little breezy but still pretty good. 3 shot group measured .234" & clocks 2791 fps.



When I bought the gun someone had cut a couple of flutes in the barrel (Pac Nor) they didn't do a very good job on the flutes but the gun shoots great. Gun has a custom trigger, not sure what brand, but very nice!

Very nice.

I love my 25 BR XP 100 as well. Mine is in a center grip McMillan stock. It has a sako extractor and a 16" Shilen 10 twist barrel. I shoot Lapua brass and 100 grain BT's with H322. I shoot it hot and it will put them all in one hole. 3 shot groups average at .300 with best groups at .190. These are at 100 yards with a Leupold 2.5 x 8 pistol scope.

I Have shot hogs, deer, antelope and prarie dogs with this rig and it is awesome !!!

Very nice looking rig there

Looks great and a nice caliber as well.

I know this is an old post but I am looking for any and all information about Remington XP-100's in 25br. I just bought one and am looking for loads for this beast for Metalic Silhouette out to 200 yards. Thank you for your help

I know own sixshot's 25BR XP but have only used the load data he posted above. Not sure how heavy of bullet your wanting to use but I believe there is load data on Hodgdon's web site and a few other places.

I used a .25 Bullberry for IHMSA competition for years. I used Speer 120BTs launched around 2200 fps. Never lost a ram with that load, which should be easily reachable in your .25 BR...


.

The load mentioned above will take all of the IHMSA animals. Probably even out to 500.

Last month I sold an xp in 25BR that was originally built for Steve Riddle. Lilja barrel, Dewey trigger, hard chromed receiver & bolt. The 25BR is center grip and I shoot prone, I already have 2 unlimited guns but the 25BR was a real shooter.

What kind of velocities are you guys getting with 100 grain bullets?

We lost Dave C. on June 18, 2016. Dave had heart problems in his past but I cant say if that was the cause. His knowledge and easygoing manner will be missed. I was fortunate to have Dave as a shooting partner the last few years. He was a Marine in the mid 1960s and a PH recipient. rp

. RIP Dave...Semper Fi

I hate to hear that. Dave was one I had hoped to meet one day. I probably lived closer than an other member at least that I know of and I always liked his posts here.
