Varget in the 257 Roberts.

It appears the .243 and 6mm Remington have similar case capacities to the 257 Roberts, and Varget has the rep of providing good velocity and accuracy in cases up to .308 size. Has anyone had experience with the Roberts and Varget, with 87-120 grain bullets? Good, Bad, or so-so? Or...should I just stick with 4064 for the 87, and H4350 and H4831 for the 100, 115, 117, and 120 gr. bullets? Thanks.

I don't have a 257 roberts but Hodgdon lists data for the 257 roberts using Varget with 75, 90, and 100 gr bullets. Here's a link www.hodgdon.com/data/r...7rober.php

Sniper, I'm shooting Varget in my 257, pushing an 85 grain Combined Technology ballistic tip bullet for deer hunting. It is shooting great in my gun. I think you'll like the results too. My Browning did not like bullets over 90 grains, so that's why I settled on the bullet choice.
