Nope. Never saw the need for one. I own a 243 Win, a 250 Savage, (3) 6.5x55s, a 260, (2) 284 Winchesters, (2) 308s, a 30-06, a 358 Win, a 35 Whelen, a 38-55, and a 45 Colt rifle. So I think I have the North American game killing spectrum covered pretty well. But I have friends that have and do use the 'Bob. It's a fine cartridge but like any it has it's limits.

History has proven the Swede capable of killing big critters [including elephants]all over the world. I don't recall ever hearing of the 'Bob being used in Africa or any other distant land on critters big and small. But the Swede is world reknowned for it's killing abilities on critters of all sizes. The Swede was used for many years to win 1000yd matches and that is another area the 'Bob is MIA.

The 257 Roberts is a fine cartridge, it's just not as good as a Swede.


I don't drink or Smoke. I spend my money on gunpowder and gasoline.
