[QUOTE="4bycamper, post: 545443, member: 17128"] The 257 Roberts has been killing deer for 50 years, well before the popularity of custom bullets. Any of the ones you listed will work. I like the 1/4 inch calibers even if I don't have one right now. I also like heavy-for-caliber bullets, so I'll vote for the 115 g. but I don't think you'll get the velocities you listed. Seems pretty hot to me. I'll bet the accuracy load is more like 2900 fps. Both the Barnes and the Burger will want a custom seating depth. I have several 7mms and both of them wanted the Barnes TX to jump .050 or more. Hornady says the Roberts really likes RL-19. Sounds right to me. I'm currently building a 6mm Rem. also on the Mauser case. I'll have to try RL-19 in it. Good luck with your new lever. [/QUOTE]
