Hello folks,
Am wondering about a .257 Roberts build.
Why:
Where I hunt .243 is the effective minimum for deer
I like using heavier bullets so the Bob handles them better (Thinking 105-120gr)
Seems to have a nice flat trajectory
Not everyone has one...
So, my proposed battery would be:
.22lr - Bunny Gun
.223 Rem - Target and fox (small deer - Muntjac & CWD)
.257 Roberts - Fox and all deer (Also as my build no iron sights so could moderate it)
7x64 - general deer rifle (Think .270W with 7mm pills or 280 Rem)
9.3x62 - my iron sighted piggy rifle
My question is: is the Bob too close to the 7x64?
KR,
Scrummy
