.257 Roberts vs .243

[Dave Workman]

Do I detect a little cartridge snobbery going on here?

Oh, absolutely!

Now, I'd say you can shoot a .25-06 or you can be a real snoot and shoot the .257 Ackley Improved!

And by yimminy...mentioning the .250/3000 Savage.. Boy howdy, now there's a real aficionado! Creme d'la' creme (or however them Frenchies spell that )

I became enamored with the .250 when I was a kid reading a 2-part story in OUTDOOR LIFE (back when it was worth reading) about this family that moved their whole household via pack train up in Canada and one of the fellers had a .250 that he shot a sheep with. When they hit town, this guy carried the sheep's head and his rifle everywhere they went, even into a restaurant. By golly,
