Did u try the long necks from the 7×57 brass to see if they close the bolt see if long necks work make it easier to load ammo if long necks hold bullet better

Back in the day was called the 3inch roberts necked reamed to 3inches to load more powder very common for 257 bob dudes

Hornady has 6mm brass I use to neck down and it works great

Have you considered a 120 Gr Nosler Partition?

I’ve watched multiple.350 rifle vids, and over penetration seems to be the norm.

Not a liar! Good vid, I have .350 rifle and considering the S&W.

Use a chemical striper to get finish off use a damp rag and iron to steam out dents.use tooth brush for checkering. Use heat gun to work out all the stripper.

For what it's worth, the 7x57 and 257 Roberts were the only two M77's that usually lack in the accuracy department. These are the only two calibers that Ruger did NOT make the barrels themselves. They farmed them out and accuracy was very hit or miss. I have a 1978 M77 "Bob" myself. Lucky for me mine is minty. It will only do just under 1.5moa for five rounds with handloads.

I took my mags apart, used a fine sandpaper lightly on the follower, lightly oiled them internally and i have never had a problem since then.

70% of the dagger stuff / components arent ever available? Ive got a vision of what i want, but parts out of stock. Grrrr.

Good video Just curious, did you find what the blemish was?

What was your avg velocity on those bullets?

Just ordered the camo combo 300 blk savage, like you have the ar needed a bolt gun in 300blk. It was ruger or savage chose savage

Put it in the bull come on you got the scope down it's doing good way to go .

Mine worked fine with weak 10mm loads but not full power loads (600+ Ft pounds of muzzle energy). To make mine work properly with full power loads I had to do a recoil spring and mag spring upgrade. If you run an optic you need to add a metal plate and upgraded hardware. With full power 10mm I’ve had failure to feed issues, and the mag was ejecting by itself. It’s been a common issue with these guns. Some people got good ones but most of them have issues and it’s very well documented. The only ones who deny and defend this are the fanboys who can’t be honest about their favorite brand. I also see a lot of people have had issues with the stock plastic red dot plates and stock hardware. Smith and Wesson knocked it out of the park in terms of ergonomics, it’s such a shame that the reliability in stock from doesn’t match when you aren’t using watered down 10mm. I love smith and own 4 soon to be 5 of their products, but they dropped a turd with this gun. I love mine too much to get rid of it, but even after I got it to work a lot better it just sits in the safe now lol.i bought a Gen 4 Glock 40 mos in 10mm to takeover its role.

1st shot 6 clicks to the right on the money

The scope is way to high on the gun need lower rings on that gun to shoot really good done it on my 308 and 6.5 CM works nice PS Hornady ammo SUCKS . On the gun you have that scope needs to co down at least 3 / 4 of an inch .

100 year old cartridge this year. 2025, here we go!

Very good practical shooting review of the gun.

I had issues with this pew pew jamming on 115 grain. Some others suggested to leave it cocked for a few days and then run some 124 through it. However, what solved the issue was a good polishing of the barrel chamber. After that I ran some Federal hallow point 124, Fiocchi 124FMJ and some Magtech 115FMJ and had zero issues. I ran over 150 rounds through and it ran great.

You might consider doing a chamber cast , measure , reform a new batch of 7 mm mauser brass to 3 thousands less than max length ,it will give you a longer length brass. That's how we dealt with it back when the 257 Roberts 3 inch was a thing. That aside flat base Speer hot core gives a little flexibility. That all said the ruger 77 I once owed was the worst 257 I ever had. If yours didn't have the 200 th anniversary on the barrel I would say rebarrel it.

I still find it rather bizzare, Ruger still , pour casts...., it's Recievers , instead of CNC Machining them, But Thompson Center did the same with the Venture Rifle. Does it make a difference? , probably not, but I don't want a casting made Reciever.

For what it's worth, the 7x57 and 257 Roberts were the only two M77's that usually lack in the accuracy department. These are the only two calibers that Ruger did NOT make the barrels themselves. They farmed them out and accuracy was very hit or miss. I have a 1978 M77 "Bob" myself. Lucky for me mine is minty. It will only do just under 1.5moa for five rounds with handloads.

leave that stock alone , it has some history

that rifle got used like it should be , ive seen them beat up pretty bad by some poacher friends

That flashbang looked crazy! I could tell you were surprised. 😅

We need to see one of the "armor piercing" ones hit steel

Interesting. I have never seen a cam pin break. Now I know how the gun reacts when it happens. I think your groups would improve a little bit if you would load all five rounds in the magazine and work through the shots without coming off the gun. I like to be motionless on the gun until I'm done with my group. I try to not break concentration. The ejection pattern of the cases is very inconsistent. I suspect very different pressures and velocities. I would test it through a chronograph to see what the difference is between the fastest and slowest shots in a five shot group. I suspect there will be a wide variance.

That red dot is trash. Glass is starting to shatter on mine after 700 rounds. Never been dropped or hit on anything. Gun stays locked up in the case when I’m not using it.

The gun cost $349-$569

What I see is patina and character. I have 3 Roberts rifles and have been looking for one in that conditions. Imagine the hunting stories it could tell.

This video is getting liked because an Autobiography was shot. 😂😂😂😂😂💀💀💀💀💀

"We got Rosie O'Donnell's Autobiography down there." 😂😂😂😂😂💀💀💀💀💀

Definitely gonna order one of these! My TTI combat has had ZERO issues in 1,000 rounds so far. Almost comfortable with the reliability to carry it.

Flying play pigeons

He make /00 yards shot. Hitting. Targets

You should NOT see that spring on the grip. Trust me

Fat, drunk and stupid is really no way to go though life

Why is your slide getting stuck whenever you hit the slide release? Is this because of the suppressor on it ?

.44 Special ? Absolutely

I have bought several completed upper builds from Delta Team Tactical and so far I have had any problems with any of them

Change the Tiger High hat .lol Go Big Orange.

Seems like it’d be very close ballistically to a 300 blackout at those ranges and similar length barrel. Nice job on the video. Keep up the quality content.

Congratulations on the deer. Pa is 3 up in some area other area is 3 up no browntine counted . As of 6.5 Grendel hard beat as a deer woods gun.

e everyone has opions some knowledgeable, some useless armchair ear to ear experience. i go with proven knowledge and experience. you proved what you say ,that i trust . as a reloader of 45years experience and knowledge of many, many calibers and firearms that bullet at reasonable distances definitely would be a deer killing peace of plunder. i greatly enjoyed your video. Papa wishing you well 😊

Some rubber inserts will stop your handguard from ringing. Also try some fouling shots when switching ammo from brand to brand septic they use different projectiles.

Seems like a set of rubber grips may tame this beast a bit

Had one ,it’s a real beast,especially in door ranges It’s a bomb blast ,going off😂😂😂

That gun isn't in rough shape it's just got character

270 for real hunters... 6.5 was designed as a marketing plot...
