[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 437032, member: 25383"] I've shot three deer that weighed over 300lb. a piece with the .257. One was with the Seirra 117 bullet, and the other two were with the Nosler 100 grain BT. All three deer were dead when they hit the ground, and none took more than two steps. Later I shot a buck that weighed close to 330lb. with a .257AI and the same 100 grain BT. Same results The .257 Roberts is not old school, but the best deer round ever concieved. The first time I used one the guys I hunted with laughed at me, and said that I'd best be ready to do some serious tracking! The next year half those guys showed up with 25 caliber rifles. The following year only one was still using a 30 caliber rifle. Sometimes it just takes folks a little longer to learn what Ned knew fifty years ago! Now if somebody could talk Savage into bring back a slightly stretched 99 chambered in .257 Roberts, a lot of folks would think that they've found the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow! gary [/QUOTE]
