Reloading 257 weatherby & 6mm Remington

[oldmanfry]

Hi Guys, wondering what people are mixing up for success.

I have had good groups with 58gr imr 4350 with 115BST in the Bee.

I have not started to load the 6mm yet. I'm shootin it in a Remington 700.

What are some good combos?

Thanks

Adam

What kind of game are you planning to shoot with the 6mm?

257 weatherby

Retumbo and IMR 7828 work well with the weatherby for the heavier bullets.

My 257 WBY loves 69gr IMR 7828sc, 3400fps with a 115gr bullet

I never got a chance to use it, but RL25 would be another good powder in the Bee. The only load I used in a 6mm Rem was a 87gr, so not much use to you.

Thanks for the replies, I was planning on loading up some coyote loads with the 6mm and maybe a deer sized one as well.

Looks like my reloading shopping list just got a little bigger! Hope the ol' lady don't mind!

In my 6mm I am loading 69gr Bergers with Superformance to 3700 fps with great results. Tried to move them a little faster but groups started to open up. I also have a bunch of 55gr NBTs loaded with H4895 loaded to over 4000 fps. Both loads will stop coyotes in their tracks but are a little hard on the fur. For deer I use the Hornady 100gr Interlock loaded with IMR 4350. Have only shot 2 small bucks with this combo so far but both deer where DRT.
