Boom’ . My mentor in my field used the 257 Roberts with round nose bullets. Watched him shoot 3 deer as fast as he could work the bolt. Not one moved. The 7x57 is a Ruger ranger. It just seems right to use the 175 Round nose for it. Located a 100 pcs of nickel brass to add to the visual.

GreggH, I have some OLD nosler lathe turned 25 cal 117 gr. Semi-spitzer. Out of 20 rounds loaded in my .257 Roberts there is 7 left. Between my kids, other relatives me and a few misses, most of the 13 rounds fired accounted for just a 'few' deer and a coyote.
That bullet cartridge combo Seems to have something to it. Everyone that used it had no problem shooting and anchoring animals. At the shot deer either dropped or acted very obviously hit.
As some one mentioned earlier, 'there's magic in them'....
