My .257 at best shoots 1.25 to 1.5 at a hundred yards. Have shot five deer in Idaho with it with the 100's, but none were over 75 yards. Never worried to much about it because never had any long range shooting. Out here long range shooting is pretty much the norm. Also tried some 75's this summer and they shot absolutely terrible in my gun. Going to take Rocky's advice and pick up some 115's or more this weekend when I can get to town
and start working up some new loads. May also be that this particular rifle won't shoot any better than it is without doing some work to it. Still alot of fun though working up a new load.
Do appreciate the feedback though. I'll be trying some new loads next week. I'll make a post .--tr
