My parents gave me a new Ruger No1B in 257 Roberts for my 21st birthday. Over the many years since then I have shot several red deer with it and all have dropped in their tracks. After reading that...

257R is a very capable cartridge for NZ, but you need to be a reloader that's for sure. I shot all my best animals of a 15+ year period with mine and only sold it on as I got hooked on 6.5mm stories...

Was a favorite of mine a few years ago, had a couple of improved also. The late Tony Hawkins rebarreled a Browning BAR for me in standard 257R, sold it prior to the "buy back" so didn't have to hand...

grandpamac Mitchell's in dvk have or at least did have a Winchester 257r complete with a pile of cases, projectiles, factory ammo and dies. It looked hardly to have been used if your still itching.

From reading the murican magazines a while back the 257 Bob was a very effective and accurate chambering that had lots of love for it. It would usually be a rifle that someone would go to after an...

Greetings Tahr, A bit off topic but I have always lusted after a .257 Roberts. An accident of history has deposited some dies on my shelves and have seen some rifles but never fired one. The rifles...

Yep, back about 1995 I built one on a medium action BSA Hunter, though it was an Ackley Improved version. Would send 100gr Hornady or Nosler BT out at just over 3300fps with 2213. I tried 115gr BTs...

I ran one for a number of years, it was a very nice "classic" setup built by Allan Carr on a VZ33 action with a gorgeous Slee walnut stock in his "Rigby" pattern, pre suppressor days but I didn't...
