Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles .257 Roberts, .260 rem, 7mm-08, softest kicking of the three?

The 260 can also be loaded with the 100 grain Nosler Partition, and thus do anything that the 257 Bob will do.

If you are handloading, you can simply fiddle your loads up or down to get the recoil that you want. If you are not handloading, IMO the 257 and 260 are probably not the best choices.

For me, I run the 260, up, down, and in between.
