My dad’s hunting days are done and he has an old Browning Abolt chambered in 257 Roberts.

I thought about loading up some rounds and take it hunting.

Seems like the Browning mag forces one to load the bullet deep.

Is this cartridge better suited for a long action?
Thanks
 
Nope the 257 Roberts is definitely a short action cartridge. The first thing to do would be to check the twist rate on the barrel and then proceed to choose a bullet that is suitable for the twist rate.
 
Love the quarters! I have a 1903 build to a 257 Roberts. But I stepped up to shoot the heavyweight stuff from a 25-06. Not really much difference, I just wanted an excuse for another quarter. Good luck.
