I have gone back to 115 partitions in my .257 AI--I just could not get the 110 ABs to shoot as well. First time that has happened to me with ABs, and I shoot a lot of different weights of ABs in several cartridges.

I load 100 ABs for one on my grandsons in his .257, and they shoot lights out. Killed a mule deer with that rifle and bullet combo a few years ago before I sent it back to him.

I had a Browning A-bolt hunter that would shoot the 115 npt. into 1.5" five shot groups.It liked the 100gr. Sierra better.I also had a Ruger M77-UL,that was a nice looking gun,but,it was so muzzle light that I just couldnt shoot it well from field positions.The only Bob I now have is a remington mtn. rifle that shoots everything that I have run through it pretty well.

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.

That wouldn't please me, either!

Generally I've found 115 Partitions to shoot an inch or less (often a lot less) with the old standby IMR4350, or the new standby H4350.

I think the 115gr Nosler Partitions shoot best in my
Model 70 257 Roberts. The 110 Accubonds are almost as good.
Best powders were RL22, Norma MRP and H4831SC.
