I just bought some Nosler .257 Roberts brass. Seems good. It's about on par with the latest WW +P brass I bought a few years ago and the loads seem interchangeable _so far_.

I killed both my deer this year with the 110 grain Accubonds over 45 grains of RL22. This is off max but gave the best accuracy in my gun with that bullet, 2.35 inches for a 5 shot group at 200 yards.

I didn't have any particularly good luck with 115s, neither partitions nor ballistic tips. I know my gun shoots very well with 100 grain ballistic tips and 48 grains of H4831, regular or SC. It hasn't done well with 100 grain partitions. I have a box of TTSX-s but haven't tried any yet.

At the moment I'm trying to find a box of 120 grain partitions. They shot well in testing IH414) but that used up all I had so I can't confirm their success. If it shoots them well I'll keep it, if not I'm going to sell or rebarrel it. I hope I don't have to wait too long to find out.
