When I was a kid, another kid at school that I hated had a 257 Robert's. I hated his gun too. I never did warm up to the cartridge after that.
I have a very similar problem with the 25-06 and .270 because of some braggarts around here. They are always talking schit about their hunting prowess, but I happen to know too many true stories about how they hunt. Nothing wrong with either cartridge except Me listening to them too much for too long. miles
