I am looking to load 100 grain spire points in a 257 weatherby mag (Vanguard). What are your suggestions as far as powders go and where should I start and begin to work up? Any and all experienced feedback is welcomed. Thank you.

Retumbo and H1000 are top choices. I ended up with Retumbo for 100gr Speers when I had mine. I think I started about 68gr with a Lee Factory crimp. I might start at 70gr without one. Velocity ended up in mid 3500s by the time I was done.
Hoddgdon hasn't published any Retumbo data, but they have pretty aggressive H1000 data on the website if I remember right.

I used IMR7828 and the data out of the old tan IMR Powders booklet. Worked great.

7828 was always top in mine. 100 grains Barnes at 3780 did a number on a bunch of big Muleys.

They say a picture's worth a thousand words, well here are two: (load is 71.3gr Norma MRP OR RL-22, F-215 primers and 100gr TTSXs). : ![[Linked Image]](https://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc437/jorgeIg/257vg.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc437/jorgeIg/257mkv.jpg)

The midget continues to be clueless.... Can you actually translate his posts into English? It’s a chore.
