Very low recoil and she isn't likely to shoot over 250 yards. The light recoil is why I recommended it. Besides that we are set up to reload that caliber and I let my cousin have the Creedmoor dies.

For that application the .257 Roberts comes to mind.


And a Hawkeye sure would be a slim, trim little rifle to put it in if one wanted to go that way smile

Bit too much of a large simian for it myself but a lot of newer shooters have liked mine (not in 257 Bob sadly)

Another “obscure” round that’s not going anywhere, performs way above its weight class.

Have one of those, too.
