In several magazine articles and in his books Jack O’Connor wrote that his wife and sons had killed approximately 50 critters with the 257 Roberts loaded with 100 grain bullets traveling at about 2950 FPS.
Now my Ruger 77 250/3000 shoots the same weight bullets at 3000 FPS yet some folks consistently rate the Roberts as a better round!
Yes the Roberts can shoot 110+ grain bullets but in these size rounds is there a significant difference that I have missed?
