    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...

    Greetings Marty Henry, Thanks for your heads up. Regrettably there a number of rifles here already that don't get out much so although I really like the cartridge I can't see how I would use another...

    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...
