I am just saying that it is not the best choice for an all-around western cartridge.
That Colorado stores have minimal stocks of .257 Roberts shows most people agree.
Wow, quite the jumps in "logic." The Rob is not on many shelves because it's an old, obscure cartridge that was dethroned in the 1950's by the 243. And as to it not being "the best choice for an all-around western cartridge", I'm not one that is impressed with the concept of "best." It's a faulty idea. At the end of the day, it's the craftsman that makes the tool, not the reverse. I have zero doubt a good rifleman and hunter could use the Rob on all Western hunting over a lifetime with zero problems. Cartridges are more alike than different, but rifleman and hunters are not.
