My mom has killed roughly 20 deer with her 257 roberts, all 1 shot kills

Maybe people should learn to shoot. If they can't kill a deer with a 243.....the certainly can't kill a deer with a 50bmg.

If you get 25/06 ballistics outta your Roberts then why not just shoot a 25/06  :chuckle:

Ive seen an antelope live that was hit by a 300wby, those 300's just arent big enough for anything these days.

Maybe the inadequacy is the shooter and not the chosen caliber  :dunno:

 :yeah: :yeah: :yeah:

OR, you are shooting bullets so light they are blowing up on bones, and not penetrating..  Try a headshot.

My .257 will flat put a deer down.  But then I know how to shoot, too...   :chuckle: :chuckle:

Huntbear, you're right on here.  There are many of the older cartridges that shine in the deer woods and the 257 Roberts is one of them.  Sometimes we get hung up on ultra performance and forget that there are alot of deer and elk that ended up on the dinner table due to a well placed bullet that left the muzzle at 2650.

Why waste the powder?  Besides, I hate boring guns.  25/06, .270 & 30-06 all fall into the boring category for me.
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.
