257 Roberts

The 7x57 (7MM Mauser) round is a fantastic hunting cartridge, similar in ballstics to the 7MM-08 and some argue more versatile when handloaded in MODERN rifles. Being a wildcat of the 7x57 the .257 Roberts is a fantastic hunting cartridge especially for deer. I like it better than .25-06 because felt recoil seems less to me.
 
257 Roberts?

The 257 Roberts is an excellent medium sized game rifle. However, if one doesn't handload it's not really worth bothering with because of the limited factory ammo available. Mine took a 250lb Red Stag yearling at 188yds(lasered)
DRT with 100gr Partition. Unfortunately you can't buy that kind of ammo.
