Anybody using H1000 for their 257 wby? I want to know if anybody has any loads with 100 grain bullets? I want to try it with some 100 grain Ballitic Tips.

My S-I-L has loaded for the 257Wby with H1000 powder with much success, but I think he was using 120 grain Speer BTSP bullets. This was the only load for his old rifle that really shot with exceptional accuracy.

You might look through the reloading forum here under Reloading .257wby

bkm,
I have the 257 weatherby in the accumark configuration. My go to load is a 100 gr. partition over 73 gr. of IMR 7828, fed 215m primers. In the 26" barrel of the accumark it achieves abot 3650 fps. I used to use H-870 but it is no longer available. Its been several years since I settled on this load but as I recall I get better accuracy and higher velocity with IMR 7828 than with H1000. It definately works for me. I shoot lot of ballistic tips. They are somewhat more frangible than the partitions. Anything shot under 100 yds. at a velocity of 3600 fps. is going to have a lot of bloodshot meat.
