I've read the other discussions on here about the 257 stw loads and haven't seen anyone using 117 grain bullets. I've been trying to find a load to work in mine with no luck. I have a 28" shilen barrel 1-10 twist on a Remington 700 action. I've tried RL 22 and IMR 7828 with the hornady 117 and my rifle hated them. I have a box of Sierra to try next. Any help would be appreciated.
 
We load US 869 in my brothers 257 stw with 115,couldn't any of the stick powders to shoot to good.
 
morning, 110gr. accubond, 80grs Ramshot mag. 7mmSTW brass, 215 primer,

neck sized. 5 shots .500 at 100. very hard load to find. built of sako action.

Ramshot should b the same as 4831sc. at the time I was buying ramshot mag.

had 200 rounds of 7mmSTW and necked down to 257. use a .264, to .257lightbulb
