Went and shot my hunting rifle to make sure it's ready for the season tomorrow. Used my handloads. 100gr Nosler BT. 35.5 gr of IMR 4064.
Gun is a Kimber Hunter in 257 Roberts.
3 Shots at 100 yards.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...694c4f89c5.jpg

Hey . . . . I think I see powder burns. :) --- SAWMAN
You may try adjusting your seating depth to see if you can tighten that group up a bit.

That is awesome buddy!!!
Thanks for sharing that one!!
I have a 257 Roberts AI
ALLways glad to see a Roberts still in use. Mine got an antelope a few years back. Devastating quartering away heart shot at 155yds.
.300mag wouldn't have made it dead any quicker. Awesome caliber, and sounds like a fabulous rifle, not to mention a more-than-adequate reloader. :>)
Thank you! My dad also shoots a 257 Bob. His is a Winchester model 70. It's our families go to deer caliber.Quote:

I have always wanted a .257 Bob, but you just don't see them much. And, I am always broke when I do find one Lol. Looks like you are set.
Nice....
