Got to shoot the other day at a property that allows us to get out to 600yds, I had one of my target 260's and my TGR 257 Roberts.

I was shooting at a 8" piece of steel, and progressively moving it out to record the drops. Shot the TGR (who is know as 'Bob' to all that shoot with me). I was shooting 2 shots, and going down range to take a good look at the impacts (don't own a spotter) and making the appropriate adjustments.

Here is Bob's first 2 shots at 300yds.



Hot D*mn!!! I had some jugs with me, and thought I would try and catch one of the 110AB's at 300yds. Just as a reminder, they clock just a tad over 2800fps.

Lined up some jugs, and this is what I found:



Was poking out of the 4th jug bassackwards......here is how it looked when removed



Weight was 67gr, for about 61% retention.

Needless to say, I am quite pleased with this TGR, and with the performance of the AccuBond.

Here is the first 2 shots at 500yds



I think I can work with that!!!

Bob had no trouble ringing the steel all the way out to 600yds.

On a side note, I have put a VX2 3-9x40 CDS on this rifle, and the combination is outstanding, the Luppy tracked perfectly, and I have ordered the custom dial to the specs of the load.

Overall, it would be hard to reach for another rifle when going on a deer or yote hunt.

Sorry for the long post.
 
Don't apologize for the length of the post, apologize for the absence of more pictures! :mrgreen: Great report and some fine shooting. Indeed, you are doing very well with the TGR.
 
Nice shooting double_d! Just have to love that Nosler and Nosler and Bob combination! That little .257 Roberts sure is one wonderful cartridge.

Same here! Great write up. Very impressive! That bullet did about as good as you would hope for. 4 jugs at 300 is excellent with that kind of expansion.

Awesome shooting! What a rifle. Seems like you gotta be a really happy Rifleman! I would be!
 
I have seen a few come out backwards in jugs. Once they slow way down the plastic does weird things when they start to lose that forward momentum. Pretty normal actually.
 
So you hang the target in your pickup bed, drive the truck to 300 - 600 yards downrange and shoot it?

Cool! :grin:

(Kids, don't do this at home, Guy is kidding, he hasn't had his morning coffee!)

That's great stuff right there - long range shooting with excellent accuracy from "Bob" and you're using a well proven hunting bullet. Nice. Congrats, and thanks for the good post. I just couldn't resist when I saw what appears to be a gong hanging in a truck bed... :grin:

Guy - who seems to like all .257 rifles...

Guy, when you hang the gong in your truck bed, you will be suprised how much more you concentrate.....LOL
 
Now, that is a good one, Guy. I agree, DD, it would induce concentration! :twisted:

We could always use Brian's truck Mike. Its Ford tough.. Bullets probably wouldn't even scratch it!
 
Let's do it. I promise not even to look away when I pull the trigger! :p
