Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting 257 Roberts experience?

I love the Better & Standard Bobs both:



100 gr Interlock @ 197 yds; bang-flop

That bullet is, IMHO, one which performs far beyond what it should. I am a tinkerer by nature but would not feel handicapped with only that bullet pushed by IMR-4350 out to 400.

In fall of '14 I took this dink w/ the same rifle (different accoutrements) at 75-ish yards (no LRF):



That one used the same load topped with a 90 gr GMX as these hogs, but he was shot from above quartering away and the (maybe 30 step) blood trail was one Ray Charles could follow.





These were both DRTs at 100-ish yards. I recovered this (40.4 gr, 45% weight retention) in the ham of the smaller head-shot one:



I don't think you can go wrong at the ranges you're talking with the 100 gr Interlock, Partition, Ballistic Tip, 110 Accubond, 115 Ballistic Tip, or 117 Interlock.

Good luck; I hope you'll show off photos here when you're successful!
