Ossi... I found in the 257 AI that the maximum load in fireformed cases Rem - Peters brass Fed 210M primers and IMR 4064 to be about 48 grains. The V V 135 is somewhat similiar to that. The V V 160 is closer to the IMR 4350 and a better choice perhaps, especially if you were shooting 100 grain bullets. All that said, start low and work up... shoot safe and often. This is a tremendous cartridge, and has killed all manner of medium and light game for me on several continents.



cheers
