The .243 and .257 Roberts both launch a 100 grain projectile at 3000 FPS. Why is the .243 anemic for whitetail and the Roberts good enough for anything that is not trying to eat you?
WYO said:If his .30-06 is that "ancient," it may have a hard butt plate or an age hardened rubber pad. Something as simple as having a Limbsaver installed (with original LOP maintained) could keep him in the game with his original rifle. Otherwise, the .257 Roberts or 6.5x55 could also do the trick.
