This kid with the .257 Roberts was hunting on a hillside in VT. As I recall the only load he had was the 75 gr hp due to a shortage of funds. As he was leaning on a tree in the woods a older hunter came up the hill towards him and spoiled his spot for a moment and to make it worse he came up to my old buddy and started a conversation. He asked what caliber he was shooting and was told it was the .257 Roberts. The older hunter shook his head and said that the Roberts was no good for deer here in the woods and the 30/06 was the gun to get.
Finally he left and in just a moment a buck came into view and the Roberts spoke just once and the buck fell dead.
As the Roberts guy prepared to dress out the buck the expert came down the hill to see what happened. He watched as my buddy cut open the stomach wall and the guts spilled out and the expert thru up at the sight.
