[QUOTE="cape cove, post: 1384341, member: 95503"] Tried quite a few bullets and powders in my 257 and I would say the Sierra 117 SBT with a load of RL-22 combined the best accuracy along with good vel, ( 3320 ft/sec). As far as vel is concerned RL-26 was good, (3375 ft/sec...24" barrel) but my accuracy wasn't great. I must say I only done a very limited test. RL-33 gave me the highest vel (3389 ft/sec) but the load was highly compressed and accuracy wasn't good. I believe this powder is a tad to slow for this chambering JMO. Using the discontinued Hornady 120 Interlock with a max load of Retumbo (3349 ft/sec) gave great accuracy and good velocity, but sadly it is no longer avalible. All of these loads used Weatherby brass and a Fed215 primer. [/QUOTE]
