Frequently Asked Questions
Buy .257 ROBERTS Ammo for Sale
Does anyone still make a 257 Roberts rifle?
Yes, but options are limited. Ruger's Model 77 and No. 1, Winchester's Model 70, and Kimber's Hunter have been chambered in .257 Roberts. The cartridge is rarely offered today. Factory ammunition from Remington and Hornady remains available.
What is 257 Roberts good for?
.257 Roberts is well suited for deer, pronghorn, and varmints out to moderate ranges. It offers flat trajectory, good accuracy, and mild recoil. With heavier 117- or 120-grain boattail bullets, it can step up to larger animals like elk and caribou, giving it broader capability than many shooters expect.
Is the 257 Roberts actually improved?
The .257 Roberts Improved uses a steeper shoulder and increased case capacity to gain roughly 100 fps over standard .257 Roberts, at the cost of 8–10 percent more powder. Standard Roberts ammunition fire-forms safely in an Improved chamber, but reloading is necessary to realize the full velocity advantage.
What is the best bullet for 257 Roberts?
Best bullet depends on your game. For deer and larger, 115–120 grain bullets like the Swift A-Frame or Nosler Partition work well. For varmints and coyotes, lighter 80–100 grain bullets such as Sierra hollow points deliver better expansion. Match your load to intended use and your rifle's twist rate.
What was Jack O Connor's favorite cartridge?
Jack O'Connor's favorite cartridge was the .270 Winchester. He championed it throughout his career as Shooting Editor at Outdoor Life, using it on big game worldwide. His decades of advocacy transformed the .270 Winchester from a relatively obscure round into one of America's most popular hunting cartridges.
