6.5 ROBERTS IMPROVED

The following data was developed in a rifle based on a HALL action. Basically, all we did was open the 257 Roberts case neck to take a 264 caliber bullet, and gave it an Ackley Improved look.

All cases are Remington and Federal 210 primers.

All groups are 5 shots at 100 yards.
