Frequently Asked Questions
Hornady .257 Roberts Ammo for Sale
Do they still make 257 Roberts ammo?
Yes, .257 Roberts ammunition is still manufactured. Remington produces it in their Core-Lokt line, and several other manufacturers load it as well. It's available from multiple retailers, typically around $40–45 per box. It remains a viable hunting cartridge for deer-sized game.
What is the best bullet for 257 Roberts?
Best choice depends on your game. For deer and hogs, 100–120 grain bullets like the Barnes TSX or Swift A-Frame perform well. For varmints, 75–90 grain Sierra or Nosler Ballistic Tips work better. Remington Core-Lokt factory loads are a reliable all-purpose option.
What is the effective range of a 257 Roberts?
The .257 Roberts is effective on deer-sized game well beyond 300 yards. With a 200-yard zero, trajectories stay within three inches out to 500 yards, making it well suited to open country hunting. Reloaders also use it for long-range varmint shooting. Most hunters consider 400–500 yards a practical maximum.
Is a 257 Roberts a good deer rifle?
Yes. The .257 Roberts is a proven deer cartridge with flat trajectory, mild recoil, and adequate power for clean kills at typical hunting ranges. Factory loads remain available through Remington and others. Many hunters still rely on it effectively after nearly a century of use.
