Kimber Hunter - .257 Roberts :
KIMBERS HUNTER Big game rifles offer an unequaled combination of features, elegance and performance. All actions have minimal dimensions for the cartridges they chamber, permitting a trim overall profile that reduces weight by as much as two pounds. All Hunter rifles include critical design features that ensure performance and dependability. The Kimber-designed straight comb stock slides back into the shoulder, not up into the cheekbone. A sculpted steel bottom metal has a floorplate release inside the trigger bow that prevents accidental opening. The Kimber Hunter offers Kimbers legendary accuracy and performance paired with a new patent pending synthetic stock and removeable box magazine. Chambered in a wide selection of calibers, these rifles offer the ideal combinations for any type of game. Just as hunting is more than a sport, a Kimber rifle is more than a rifle..

A rifle for every journey.

Bullet Caliber Descriptions

.257 Roberts

The .257 Roberts is a medium-powered .25 caliber cartridge. It has been described as the best compromise between the low recoil and flat trajectory of smaller calibers such as the .22 and 6mm, and the strong energy but not the strong recoil of larger popular hunting calibers, such as the 7mm family and the popular .30-06. With light bullets the .257 produces little recoil and has a flat trajectory suitable for varmint hunting. With heavier bullets it is capable of taking all but the largest North American game animals. The original factory load for this is very similar to the .250-3000 Savage

Suggested Use

  • Small Predators
  • Small Game
  • Varmint
  • Deer

Performance

Remington introduced the commercial version of this popular wildcat as a low-pressure round. At the time there were many older actions available of questionable strength. With a modern action and handloading, this cartridge is capable of markedly improved performance.

One of the common improvements is called the .257 Roberts(+P) which has a SAAMI maximum pressure limit of 58,000 PSI compared to the 54,000 PSI listed for the standard .257 Roberts.

P.O. Ackley said that the .257 Roberts Ackley Improved was probably the most useful all-around cartridge. The Ackley Improved was a typical change of a steeper shoulder coupled with blown-out sides for more of a straight cartridge, providing greater powder capacity.
