Guys,
This is my first post on this forum. I've enjoyed reading the questions and answers here.
I recently purchased a Ruger 77 in 257 Roberts. It is an older tang safety model that is in great shape. I want to use it to hunt whitetail deer. I have cases and a die set, but the only 25 calliber bullets I have are a box of 120 grain Partitions and a box of 120 grail solid base (not ballistiic tips). I understand the 100 grain Partitions or BTs are recommended for deer. Will the 120s work well too? Since I have them, I'd like to use them if they will work. I'm really looking forward to shooting this rifle. My initial range session went quite well, with tiny groups first at 50 yards, then at 100 also. This was with 100 and 117 grain bullets. I'm a Nosler fan, and my preferred hunting bullets are Partitions. Your comments appreciated.
