I can see why you had to spend some time finding that one.
Pretty special.

The Kimber select classic, a nice rifle, mine used to look pretty nice but it’s pretty bunged up now. African Walnut! That is funny!

Dirtfarmer; Good morning to you sir, I hope that the weather is tolerable and seasonally appropriate for you folks down there and that you're all well.
Since I've never been front and center when anything has been shot with a .257 Roberts, I can't truly do anything more than guess on how the combo you're going to try will work on the local deer.
Now a long time hunting partner used a .25-06 for years to take the biggest bodied and racked Okanagan mulie I've been in on, as well as at least a half dozen other bucks, but that might not count.
Oh, now that I think of it I shot at least two with it as well.
Then our youngest shot 8 or so local mulie and whitetail bucks with a .250AI which has to be in the neighborhood of a .257 Roberts I'd think. They all died with one bullet each and our family ate them, so that'd indicate some level of success to me.
Lastly, after I started typing the response, I remembered that I have a .257 Roberts barrel on a 96 action in the parts pile in the shop that need a bolt either fixed or replaced, but maybe if the world holds together long enough I'll remedy the not having shot anything with a Roberts part of my response.
All the best to you all, Happy Thanksgiving pretty soon too I believe and good hunting.

DF Oh hell yes! That’s exactly what I should have had done to my CLR NULA. Exactly. I wasn’t smart enough.

I shot my Kimber Montana in 257 Bob over the weekend and it's ready for the deer woods in a couple of weeks. Going to use 100 grain TSX bullets over IMR4350. I think I am going to really like hunting with this rifle.

The guys here are charging the $22 haz mat fee on top of the going prices for a pound of powder on each and every can. The means $70 a pound for us.

BTW I’m getting about .6 or .75 with 100 gr Sierras over H414. Tried the 414 b/c rationing my 4350 for the ‘06.
