Right now I am shooting a 122 boat tail that Remington use to load. Once those are all gone I will probably switch to the Partition.

I'd try the 110 Accubond if I had a .257 Roy I've loaded them in .25-06 with great results and outstanding accuracy as well.

I like the 100 gr. TSX. It seems to hold up well to the high velocity.

Vlds shoot awesome but to much speed for a cup and core bullet IMO.

They've slowed down by the time they get to their target. can't get the ABs to shoot in the new Roy so going to work up a load for the bergers. Also couldn't get the ABs to shoot in a cpl 7mm cals, but luckily the case of 140gr isn't going to waste b/c the 7/08 loves them and was busting water bottles at 500.

My plan is to try to find the new Weatherby Vanguard S2 up the Metroplex this weekend and then put a custom thumbhole stock on it.
For optics I can't decide between the 4-16 Vortex Viper HS or the new Leupold VXR
