Make sure you shoot more than 3 or it doesn't matter!

Hey, Harley. Which .257? Kid I gave my custom .257 STW to has some Hammer bullets he wants to work up loads for. And while yeah, the .05 p value for 3 shot groups may be statistically "worthless", we aren't doing medical research here. We're trying to kill stuff 
I got it and got busy, so never really played with it much. Should be dynamite antelope/deer round with Hammers. Pretty sure Steve would shoot much bigger stuff with it.

My dad was able to get real close to 3500 fps with the 90 grain Absolutes with his 257 Roberts. It’ll be cool to see how far you can take it with the WBY.

I’m watching, about to get the crop out then it’s time to see if I can break 4000 safely with the 90 gr.

This sounds wicked. I've been thinking about picking up a Roberts for the kids to shoot. Never has a 25 cal and this one has always intrigued me. That's impressive. What powder?

Do it!!!
Just be aware, if you do pick up a 257 Roberts, the kids will end up fighting over the 243 Win you get for them. You won't want to hand over the Roberts!
While the Absolute Hammers suggest a faster than normal powder burn rate for bullet weight, Hybrid 100V is the go to powder for 100-115gr cup & core bullets.
When?
