.257 Roberts hunters only

115gr partitions if you’re looking for the heavy end, but in the Bob you might try the 100gr Speer SPBT or Hot-Cor. You can easily stay in the short package and keep speed up.
 
My Remington model 722 "Bob" is now rechambered to .257 Roberts Ackley Improved with a 40 degree shoulder. Since it was rechambered it has the original 1:10 twist. I've been shooting Speer 120 gr, but have decided to give the 115 gr NPT a try. Since the 722 is a short action I need to watch bullet choices and seating depth to avoid feed problems. Seating to the lands with any bullet makes it a single shot.
