You ask this question on a board full of .30-06 koolaid drinkers? :rolleyes;
Have chrono and use the right powder.
.257 Roberts 117 grain Interlock, 3050 fps out of a 24" Remington 722 using H4831 compressed. 3150 for my preferred 100 grain Game King same powder. Ain't a dimes difference to ME since the gun has sentimental appeal. I won a BDL in .25-05, gun show door prize raffle, traded it same day for a .308 I'd been wanting since I already had a well developed and proven quarter bore.
It also shows though that anyone that will tell you a 257 roberts is within a 100 fps of a 2506 or the 2506 is within a 100 fps of a 257 either doesnt have a chrono or needs to look for a differnt powder.
