Need some help finding reloading data using IMR 4831 in the 257 Weatherby. I would like to give this combo a try in my new rifle. Any information would be helpful.

66 to 67 grains of IMR-4831 with 110 Accubonds should serve you well. I have also used 68gr with 100gr Partitions. You will get better performance with IMR-7828.

Thanks for the information. I will be working some loads with 7828 also but had 2 lbs. of IMR 4831 so I thought I would give it a go. All the data I have looked into has recommended 7828. I will be working with 100 to 120 grain Nosler Partitions and Barnes TSX.
