Coyote Hunter, tell me more about the load for your 257. Grains of powder, brass, primer, etc.
What gun are you shooting these Yotes with. I've got a Browning A-Bolt in 257 that loves shooting light, under 90 grains, bullets. I might want to fire this one up after Yotes here in the Southeast.
Many Thanks and stay on em!

The load data is below, but Iâ€™ll caution you my Ruger has a very long throat and I canâ€™t reach the lands with a bullet that is properly seated inside the neck of the case. If you can reach the lands in your rife you should probably back off my load data.

Rifle â€“ Ruger M77 .257 Roberts, 22â€ barrel, 1-10 twist (mfg in 1989)
WW â€˜+Pâ€™ brass @ 2.223â€
Hornady 75g V-MAX
46.0g H4895
COL 2.803â€
3609fps

In one of your earlier posts you said you were using a "healthy dose of Varget". Do you also have a load developed for the Varget as well??
Thanks again for your reply. I'll use these loads with caution and check the throat length in my gun.
Appreciate your response!

That comment had to be in reference to my .22-250: 35.0g Varget for 52g Speer/Hornady BTHP bullets, 3579fps. 38.0g for 40g Nosler BT's, 4052fps. In my .257 Roberts 41.8g Varget only gets me 3175fps with the 75g V-MAX.
