    Nosler E-tip is 1.218" long, if you count the ballistic tip. That length needs about a 9.5" twist at 3100 fps.
    If you discount the plastic ballistic tip, it is 1.082". Which needs about a 10.7" twist at 3100 fps.
    I may need to try the old .257 Roberts go to powder, IMR 4350. I just need to find some and get it.

    Get you some 75 gr hp or plastic tipped for varminting and to use up that 4895. Works great in my ruger. I much prefer the H4350 for 100+ though.

    Is the Bob a shortened 257 Roberts? I don't see a need for shortening it. If the Roberts is too much for you, get a 250 Savage or a 256 Winchester.

    Spell check doesn't work in Chrome, so if something is spelled wrong, it's just a typo that I missed.

    H4831, gumbo333, or H3831?

    *Typos sure happen!*

    It's just "Bob" as a shorter form of saying Roberts
