Default RE: 257 roberts

I currently shoot the Hornady 117 gr btsp out of my 700 ADL. The only thing I don't care for is how deep you have to seat the bullet to fit in the magazine. I load with H380 and I4350 and get moa groups with both powders. I use WLR primers with the 4350 and Fed LRM with the H380. I have been kicking around the idea of moving down in bullet weight to 100 or 110 gr. Haven't taking a deer with the gun yet because most of my hunting is thick woods and such and the 06 usually gets the call. For deer any standard sp bullet will do nicely as long as you put it in the boiler room. If you plan on moving up to something bigger I would suggest one of the bonded bullets or the partition.
