I have owned a .257 Roberts for over 20 years. It is a fine cartridge and I have enjoyed it very much.

Why did I get a .257 Roberts? Because I wanted one. For my purposes, a .243 would probably work just as well, but I wanted something different.

I just recently had an action re-barreled to 6.5x55. Will it do anything (for me, as I ain't got no moose's, grisley bar's or oliphants here) that the .257 Roberts won't? No. It's just that I wanted one.

Point is, get what you want, and don't pay attention to all the gack, because for most of us the gack don't matter. Just look at the title of this post. What will a .257 115gr @ 3,000fps accomplish that a .257 115gr @ 2,800fps won't?
