The 257 Roberts again,is another classic.

I cannot figure out why the companies "invent" new calibers when the classics do the same job??

Marketing I guess.


Both the .257 Roberts and .25-06 were "standardized" by Remington, just 35yrs apart.

I would guess that Remington wanted to get their name on the popular wildcats of the time.
