How do you manage OAL with the x57 Roberts case in the short action? Do you guys find it limiting at all?


Bobnob yes it's limiting. I have had Roberts rifles on both the 06 actions and the short 700's. I would like to be able to seat further out but in truth in the short actions I just load a 100 gr Partition at over 3000 fps and let it go at that.That load has always killed well for me. The 3" Roberts seems to pick up 100 fps with both the light and heavy bullets....at least that's what I have seen.




The 280 Remington is overbore.

The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
