I just picked up a Montana in 257 Roberts topped with a 3-9x36 Swaro. Any good loads using 100-110 grain bullets suggestions?

4350 (either one) is never a bad place to start with a 257.

Have had very good accuracy with the Barnes 100 TSX BT (plain one, not the plastic tipped version) and the Sierra 100 flat base soft point. H4350 with both. I tried 4 powders with the 110 AccuBond; it never shot as well as the other two bullets.

I have had great luck with H or I 4350 and any 100 grain bullets. And like 257heaven, have shot comparable groups with that combination of IMR4895 and 75 Vmaxes in several Bobs.

Check out JB's "Loads That Work" article for 257 Roberts loads.
Beware of thieves, scammers and dishonest members on the "Fire" classifieds. Ya there is a thief here too. Whatever!!

I had good luck with IMR 4064 with the 100gr bullets.
With the 110AB My best load was H4831 and RL22 with anything
heavier. I was using the Barnes reloading manuel.

100 grain TTSX and maximum load of Hybrid 100. Yep, that is exactly what my Ruger 77 tang safety 257 Roberts loves.

I was a bit worried at first with everyone talking about temperature sensitivity when using Hybrid 100 but found no change in accuracy at all going from 60 degrees to 28 degrees F.
