What kind of accuracy were you getting with the 115 Partition? I've found them pretty easy to get to shoot in several .257's, but my accuracy standards may not be as stringent as those of some other hunters.
I may have been overly picky, but if memory serves they were closer to 1.75" to 2" than they were to 1.25".
Admittedly, I was also working with a 700 ADL in 6mm that was shooting 100 grain Hornady SP's into an inch with the first load I cooked up.
I elected to go with the 6mm and benched the 257.
I'll give it another go this fall, for sure.
