I have used them in my 10 twist 257wby.
I used RL 22 and federal 215 magnum primers. They shot well and really hammered the couple of deer that I killed using that load.

I actually had 3 different powders that worked very well with this cartridge. I shot Rl25 at 72.0 gr and 3306
Av vel. Imr7828 at 69.0 for a 3282 av vel and 73.0 H1000 for a 3285 av vel.
As always, work up slowly as your rifle will be different. These loads are very accurate and were my best in my rifle.
