Perro Del Diablo Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 In 2 weeks I have a hunt planned with my 16 year old son and 24 year old daughter. My son has a 308 which proved its capability on a black buck doe from 120 yards out. My daughter has a 243 that has 3 pigs by her brother her and her brother each got their first doe with it and last year she got a doe, a spike and a buck with it. I have my 257 Roberts but it hasn't proved itself yet. Should i stick with the Bob or take one of my kids guns and tell them Nananana booboo. Of course there is a very slim possibility that the person behind the rifle had a little to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trailrider #896 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 You might get that result with a high-velocity, expanding point bullet, but NOT with a .45-70. Even with a 300gr HP at 2100 ft/sec, it wouldn't do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michigan Slim Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 I wouldn't try to take Kaya's .243. I'd become a statistic if I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Okie Sawbones, SASS #77381 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 The .257 Roberts is fine as long as you use the proper bullet, such as the Nosler 115 grain bullet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-BAR #18287 Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 You and your companions are adequately armed. Now, can you put the bullet where it should be when you see an animal worth taking? Crunch time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sassnetguy50 Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Use whichever one has the best fitting stock for you. I can’t comment on the suitability of the cartridge until you tell us what you’re hunting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Sage, SASS #49891 Life Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 You don't say how much you have shot the .257 , even a paper targets. Any .25 caliber is good enough to take deer sized animals if the shooter does their part. My primary caliber is .25-06 and I have killed literally several hundred deer, antelope and pigs with it.

Ranger Dan Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 My .257 Roberts has taken much game. First rifle, given to me by my father. Great flexability with 87g HP for varmits to 120g SP for deer. You got the right gun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
