I have a .243 Win, and a 6mm Rem, and a .25-06, and trust me, the .243 will not do what the .25-06 can do!
What is this .257 "Roy" you speak of? Roy Weatherby could have named it the .257 Roy,...he did not. Its the .257 Weatherby.
Folks get testy with calling it .257 "Bob" because that's even dumber and less respectful than calling a Weatherby a "Roy". Roy, at least was part of his name.
Bob never was.
The fellow who designed the .257 Roberts was Ned Roberts. Not Robert, not Bob, but Roberts (with an "s"). Its a family name and cannot be shortened to "bob" (unlike a first name) without flunking basic grade school English grammar.
To me, it doesn't make you look cute, it just makes you look ignorant at best or perhaps, willfully stupid. And I doubt I'm the only one.
really good post!
