257 Roberts + 85gr NBT

[CatskillCrawler]

I've been looking for good load data for the 85gr NBT and haven't found much for the powders I have at hand. I have some good leads but most are from Speer 87 and Sierra 90gr bullet load data.

I'm ready to try 39-41gr Varget, 41-43gr IMR-4064, and 51-53gr H-4831. I also have IMR-4350, H-4895, and very little H380.

Just looking for an alternative coyote load out of a Win 70 FWT. Velocity isn't paramount as most shots will be under 200 yds.

Thanks.

My rem 700 in 257 bob loves this load!
47.7 grains of Hodgdon H414
85gr Nosler BT
Winchester mag primer
OAL 2.865

This load will shoot dime sized groups at 100yds all day long. As usual start low and work up, cause this load is listed as hot, but still perfectly safe in MY gun.
