Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles Favorite Powder .257R and 120gr Speer GS

Agree with Dirtfarmer. With heavy bullets I used to use RL22, have replaced it with RL23. Norma MRP is very good.

RL26 has worked good also, heavier bullet the better. My model 70 did 3129 FPS with RL26.and 115gr Partitions.

RL23 did 3129 FPS with 115gr Nosler Partitions

RL17 also did over 3100 FPS with 110gr Accubonds. Had to back load off.
