[QUOTE="DJ Fergus, post: 1745887, member: 93895"] Nosler bt, regular accubonds, partitions & the Speer are all fairly jump tollerant. That's not saying there won't be a sweet spot that they absolutely love. I don't have a 257 wby but I do have a 25-06. .8 groups with the bullets you mentioned and the 10 twist that you have is pretty good. I won't tell you what to do but after my experience with the 25-06, I wouldn't spend much more time trying to get the groups Smaller. You may be able to try a lighter bullet, less than 90 grains and get a smaller group but then it would be highly explosive on impact unless it's something like an 80gr Barnes. The 80 Barnes was the most accurate bullet for me. [/QUOTE]
