Thread: 257 roberts

Nothing wrong with the .25/06 at all. Do anything you want from a hunting cartridge, and do it without kicking you to death. It would have to be about perfect as an all round red deer cartridge. I have had two.

Here we are talking about degrees of perfection, all of them within the parameters of killing deer, which are not hard to kill, with a single well placed shot with a cheap bullet.

Thus, we are able to be just as satisfied with the properties of the .243, the .257 Roberts and the .25/06 on deer, finessesing their performance with judiciously chosen bullets.

(The .270 is in a different catagory simply because I believe it kicks more than many people find comfortable.)
