I should be ashamed to admit it, but despite looking for a number of years at various iterations of .25 calibre rifles, I just secured my first quarter bore--a Remington CDL SF Ltd. Edition in 257 Roberts. It is certainly a handsome rifle, though I hate to admit to my hunting partner that another Remington is stowed in my safe (he secretly lusts in his heart after my rifles). I had a little extra in my account and decided to grab the rifle after quietly observing it reposing forlornly on the gun shelf for several weeks.
I have a 2.5 - 8 X 36 Leopold that is now on a Model 94 chambered in .356 that will fit on the rifle, at least at first. (I plan to replace the Leopold on the Model 94 with a 1.1 - 4 Kahles scope that I have.) I snagged several boxes of bullets ranging from 115 to 120 grains (I tend to load heavy for calibre). I hope to use this as my primary deer cartridge next fall, perhaps carrying it for black bear this next spring. Any suggestions on loads from those of you loading for this cartridge?
