Just thought I'd follow up on the Sukalle .257 Roberts I bought from Jericho. I loaded up my standard .257 test load of 46 grains of H4350 with some 100-grain Ballistic Tips in new Remington brass, and it's averaged .56" for several 3-shot groups at 100 yards. The largest group has been .76" and the smallest .35". That's with a 4x scope and brass that hadn't been "fireformed" to the chamber. The only accuracy tricks used were seating the bullets about .03" shy of the lands, and making sure they were seated reasonably straight.

I do believe Mr. Sukalle knew a thing or two about barrels and rifles....
