Remington 700 Classic in .257 Roberts

my bobs are Remington 722,s, one a very early one and the other a very late one. both like 100gr and 117 gr bullets.

@flash-hole: I don't think the dies would be interchangeable. If I recall correctly, the original Roberts version had a different shoulder angle. This difference would only apply to the rifles from Ned Roberts or those from Griffin & Howe in the 1930's. I've never even seen pictures of those rifles, and so I think the chance of running into one are pretty small.

Huh? The 722s were 257 Roberts. Why would a 700 (the newer version of that rifle) be chambered for the superseded chambering?

I think 257 Remington Roberts and 257 Roberts are the same thing.

The thing Roberts originally did was different but was a custom rifle wildcat thing prior to Remington picking it up.


We’ve had great results with that Hornady 117 SST factory load.

I had the 700 Classic for years. My son has it now along with several nice shotguns and dozens of hand tools. I mounted a Leupold fixed 6 power heavy reticle FX6 scope. My load of 100 grain Sierra Pro Hunter bullet and a near max charge of IMR4350 has accounted for many deer and hogs It has also bagged a turkey with a 100 grain Nosler Partition. That was a little overkill.

Okay Texas finally dried up enough for me to get out to the range. Reloaded numerous rounds. And the winner is:
Varget – 38.5 gr – COAL 2.775 - Sierra 90 gr BTHP
They literally punched through the same hole at 100 yds. I was really tickled. Did not seem to like the heavier .25 caliber bullets. Going to take it out on opening day next Saturday.
