Boring old powders like IMR-4064 or IMR-3031.
Tried some others but they have not done anything that these can do.

Although I was very pleased with and advocated the 100 TTSX/47 gr. H100V load at 3,250 fps, don't forget about the 115 NBT/44gr. H-4350 load at around 2,900 fps. It's a real killer, too. The Roberts is a sleeper, a real effective round that does a job on the target critter without taking it out on the shooter...  DF

DF 43 grains of RL 19 with the 117 btsp interlock or 43.5 grains of RL 19 with the 115 grain BT. That's been my load for deer for 6+ years now.

I am digging this post and I don't even have a bob. I do have its little brother 6mm and toyed with rebbareling but the 6mm is so dang cool itself that I just can't do it. I have gone exclusively to IMR4350 in this rifle for everything from 85-100grain. The 4831 for heaviers backs up what I do and have seen in all my other chamberings.

I use Hybrid 100V in my 257 Super Grade Featherweight Model 70. I shoot 110 Accubonds and 115 Ballistic Silver Tips. Easy one inch groups when I do my part. Haven't used on any animals yet but hope to use one on Antelope and Dear in the near future. H100V with 100 gr TTSX at 3,250 fps out of my 24" Brux is a killer and shoots half MOA. DF HV100 and GS Custom 100 HV's H4350 also.

Copy/paste of a reply I made in an earlier Bob thread:
100 grain partition, WLR primer, 41.5 grains of IMR-4350. Shoots a quarter inch in my little Bob.

Powders I reach for would start with RL 15, and IMR 4895...
AR Comp is in the same burn range, but is a temp insensitive powder... and has worked real well in other calibers I've tried it in...
These may not be top velocity, but they aren't that far behind the others....and they are always accurate...
There is a reason IMR 4895 has been sold continually for quite a few decades...

I'm going to offer an alternative... 3 of the standard Bobs I've owned and my "Better Bob" all LOVE Ramshot Hunter.
What's particularly beautiful is the fact that the charge weight my son's custom Mauser & my Kimber 84M Classic Select(each are my remaining of the three counted above) "like" with 100 gr NBTs or Interlocks (take your pick) is identical. 46.5, with magnum primers.
With my Kimber I never even had to test another charge weight. It just worked and I stuck with it.
Great cartridge hope you enjoy it!
