Hi Frisco Pete,
Phil wrote about these in the June 2003 Handloader. Just wondering what his current ideas on the subject might be. That's the great thing about forums, such as these, is that we can learn from folks who have been there and done it.
I've been a big fan of Mule Deer (aka John Barsness) for years and its fun to see how opinions on things change as he gains more experience, or wisdom. From the 257 Ackley being a great and wonderous thing to it's better to just have a straight up 257 Roberts. I bought a 243 for use as a deer rifle based on an article he wrote in late 70's (maybe early 80's) and he has since drifted from the 243 to the 25's (though I'm starting to sense he could drift back in love with the 243).
So I really appreciate everybody's input and look forward to Phil chiming in if he gets a chance.
