I have one sewed into my shooting vest only use it with the 500 Jeffery. It helps.

Lol! What a beautiful rifle.

Someone on another forum did a bunch of testing through water filled milk jugs seperated by plywood of various 375 H&H 300g bullets They included the 300g A-Frame, 300g Partition, 300g TSX and finally the 350g Woodleigh SP (before they came out with the HD SP). The A-Frame and TSX performed...

Well my most trusted rifle up until I bought my CZ 550 in 500 Jeffery was my Rem 700 BDL in 270 Win I bought in 1968. Hunted with it for 40 years until I gave it to my son. Killed over a dozen elk, way more deer and 9 bears with it. Never had a fail to function. Slid down a couple of Talus...

I have a 270 Weatherby in a Mark V (150g Partitions at 3200 fps), and a XCR II in 375 Weatherby (not 378, 300g A-Frames at 2800 fps) that weighs 7 1/2 lbs with scope. Neither have a brake. Both are absolutely fine as far as recoil is concerned and accurate too!

Looks good!

The brochure that came with my CZ 550 I bought about 10 years ago says the action is machined from a single piece of forged billet.

500 Jeffery. They don't get up.

I got a cow elk at 225 yards two years ago. Hit it once behind the shoulder, it didn't get up. 570g TSX passed clean through left a desert plate sized exit wound. I'm guessing the bullet expanded well.

270 Win Will kill anything on your list and more. Light recoil, hits hard down range.

I'll stick with my mild kicking 500 Jeffery lol.

Must buy 500 Jeffery Must buy 500 Jeffery lol!

Well I'm going to add to the BS. I bought a Rem XCR II in 375 H&H in the spring of 2011 for a brown bear hunt. It felt awful light. I weighed it on a postal scale. With a Leupold 2-7x Firedot scope on it, it only weighed 7 1/2 lbs. I thought "this is going to hurt!" Took it to the range...

For a non-bonded cup and core bullet, i find them better than Sierra (although they are amazingly accurate) or Hornady Interlocks. At high velocity close range they leave a lot to be desired. At moderate velocity (30-30 170g at 2100fps) they'er awesome.

I think the 257 Roberts is a lovely cartridge. If you're going to go up to 6.5mm why not just shoot the parent cartridge, the 7mm Mauser?
