257 Roberts.


Cub:

I ended up on both sides of the 257 Roberts...

6mm Rem on a long action with a fast twist...
6.5 x 57 on a long action.. ( a Roberts necked up to 6.5 mm, or a 6mm Rem necked up) but with similar bullet weights it will out do a 25/06 any day of the week, and use less powder to do so, just the same as the 6mm Rem will do with the 240 Weatherby.. but the long action makes all the difference...


Will this beat the 6.5x55 Scandahoovian, in a 23" tube as I have this gorgeous Brno 21 action and as posted above many smallbore big game rifles,so, would prefer something other than another .280 or .270. What do ya think, I am inclined to put Euro. rounds into these Euro. actions and American-British rounds into P-64s and, if I could ever FIND one and had some $$$$ for such a build, a Remmy 720 made into a .404J.

Why not a 6.5x57?
