Re: Target loads for 257 Roberts

i have had good luck with 87spt sierra, with i believe 39.0 varget. not sure on the charge, i would have to look it up. also with the 117spt and 117sbt, and 120hpbt, with h4831, 46.0 grains.
 
If you want target loads in .257 caliber, you have only a few choices: 87/115g Berger's, 100g Sierra MatchKings, 108g JLKs.

The 87g Berger's and 100g SMK seem to be a little more forgiving for overall lengths, whereas the 108g JLK/115g Berger VLDs are more length sensitive.

Hard to argue against the 100g SMK unless you plan on shooting over 300 yards, then the BC of the JLK/Berger takes over.
 
I've had terrific luck with 49 gr. of Reloader 19 and 100 gr. bullets - 3100 fps and about 1/2 moa. Win. cases, Fed. 210M primers.
 
I was hoping for a lot more responds but thank all that did respond. If anybody else has a good load they would like to share please post it.
