This is my pet load with the Speer 120gr Hot-Cor. Shoots just as good with RL25, not quite as accurate but still very good accuracy with a little more velocity. Really snatches the ground out from under a deer and kills like a lightning strike!

Excellent accuracy. For clarification, was that with Hot-Cors as stated in your text, or spitzers as noted on the target? Hopefully, it was spitzers. Sadly, 120 Hot-Cors in 257 are no longer available.
