I have used both the Remington 100 grain and the Remington 120 grain bullets in both a 257 Roberts and also a 25-06. I have never used the 100 grain Hornady.
But I can tell you from personally experience the 100 Gr. Rem CL is super accurate in both my rifles and not good at all for game killing. I used them to kill 3 antelope and one deer and all 4 bullets broke up completely with poor penetration. Just a thought. I think if you slowed those 100 grain CL down a little you would be happier with bullet performance on game. I was going to say the same thing. I've taken two pigs, one 220 pounds and one 150 pounds, both bang flop. I've had my 250 R for over 20 years and usually take 2-3 a year, sometimes 4. All of the deer have been under 140 pounds, with most in the 100-110 range. I do find the 100 to be very accurate in my 250.
I'm not greedy, I just want one of each.

The 100 grain CL might not be the best choice on game at 25-06 or even 257 Bob velocities, regardless of accuracy.
