I am new here (as far as being a member) but have looked around for several years.
I have just bought a Remington 700 SF 257 WBY mag and it will be used for deer and speed goats only. I am planning to use 100 gr bullets. I am working with R22, IMR 7828, and R25 powders and getting approx 3600-3650 FPS.
I am starting to load for it right now and have some Barnes TTXS, and Nosler Partitions. The TTXS have not really shown anything yet (but I will admit I am just starting). I called Nosler and they said that the Part would not stay together very well at that speed. I am getting around 1.5" @ 100 groups out of the TTXS with R25 (which is the best to date). Like I said, I have just started and only have approx 25 rounds total down the barrel.
My question is this, IF the TTXS does not want to shoot, and the Part will not stay together, what have y'all (I am form the south) found that will work for what I am wanting to do?
Thanks for the help
