Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting 257 Roberts or 243 Winchester in the Montana

Lot of good suggestions.

You just gotta get into reloading if not already there. Too much difference with what can be accomplished. And, it's enjoyable.

The .243 is a good one for the non-reloader, as is the .308.

I'm partial to the .257R over the .243. I don't see .243 loads pushing 100 gr. bullets at 3,250+ FPS...

For the .257R to really shine, I'm thinking a 3" box mag. That's an expensive proposition, converting a SA, or one can go LA. I know there's wasted space in the longer box, but I'd rather have the room than not.

IMO,
