Jack's wife as far as I can tell from my notes actually owned and shot a 257 roberts more than the 7x57. When I get home tonight I would be more than happy to check this for everyone. Not a lot of difference as this is simply a necked down 7x57 but I thought it was worth noting as some other posters had noted that they purchased 7x57's for their wives because Jack did the same. Both are great rounds and I am in the process of building a 7x57 for my wife as we speak. They are truly a dream to shoot.
