After long wait my local shop finally received 1- 5pound jug and I was lucky enough to be there when they put it out. Anyone got suggestions?
I would like to shoot 115 Berger and 100 gr Barnes ttsx
As I have several hundred of each. Thanks

If you have a saami chamber, 71-72 gr will be your sweet spot for the 100 TTSX.

Never used RL22 with the 115 Berger, but if you have some RL-25, give that a try. It's given me the best combo of speed and accuracy with 115 Bergers and Ballistic Tips in the three 257's I've owned.
I got excellent accuracy and velocity from 72 RL22 and 100 TSX. I tried H4831, Ramshot Magnum, and maybe a few other powders and that was the best load with the Barnes in that rifle.
R25 ess actually more accurate glut me with the 100 gr bullet, but 22 wins with the 110 accubond.
