cohntr6 Report post Posted July 24, 2020 I have never had trouble finding reloading supplies for our .250 Savage even factory ammo. If your having a hard time finding stuff I may part with some brass. Btw, I love the 250! It is an incredible little cartridge with little recoil. I had a rifle made about 10 years ago for my daughter who is very recoil shy and petite. She has taken 2 cow elk, a whitetail buck, and I shot a WT with it. Sorry, no experience with the Roberts but I have a 257 weatherby that has slayed many WT and I love it too so I understand your dilemma 😁 Jeff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mine was a .250AI. Those speeds were totally safe in my rifle and not max loads. Published loads are supposed to be safe in ALL rifles. Including the old ones. Lever actions, pumps, etc. Modern powders have really upped the possibilities for quality built modern bolt action rifles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
10Turkeys Report post Posted July 25, 2020 I've owned about 3 25-06's and 1 .257 Roberts. Don't know why, but I never warmed up to a .25 caliber. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saguaro Report post Posted July 25, 2020 They’re good for Varmint hunting. We have the 25-06 and 257 Roberts. There is a Gunsmith I know that likes the 250 3000 AI and he seems to do really well with them. I’m talking one hole, 5 shot groups at 100 yards. The 257 Roberts was the rifle I had all of my firsts with. First Coyote, first running Coyote, first long range shots on whatever. It was my dad’s Remington 722, which I still have. It still performs. We would always talk about that rifle as one that will never disappoint you. It’s one that will hit what’s in front of it every time. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
