On a previous thread, dmsbandit was doubting my claim of 3000 fps with 115-117 grain bullets in the .257 Roberts. Apparently this was because his collection of loading manuals is rather old.

So I quoted Hodgdon's data: 115 Nosler Partition at 3049 fps, using 46.0 Hybrid 100V. It should also be noted that the pressure is only 46,600 CUP.

Apparently he still doesn't believe it.
