I just received a Ruger #1 International in 257 Roberts as a Christmas present from my wife. Another relative had bought me some ammo and some of it is factory +P.

Is the +P safe to use?

My first post here, thanks for your time.

yes, your rifle is safe with +P ammo. i own a older remington 722 in 257R and i shoot +P ammo and +p reloads. eastbank.

Hard to find a stronger action

Thanks for your replies

Thanks for your replies. I'm sure I'll be posting more info and questions as I get some time to shoot. So far I went threw 40 rounds of rem factory 117g. All shots would have killed a deer at 75 yards, but no great groups. I'm using the open sights as I have not decided on a scope and rings combination yet. I'll start a new thread to address my scope thoughts.

Any 2x7 would look and work well on your gun. That is what was on mine.

my rem had a 3x9 leupold on it when i bought it, but i have since put a 2x7 leupold on my rem 722 in 257R, i shoot 44grs imr 4350 with the 115gr bullet and from a good rest it will put 3 into a inch at 100 yds. and as you can see in the last photo it works on deer. eastbank.

Congrats on the new RSI #1 Kozaky. I'd like to hear more about yours when you get more range time with it. I just put the exact same gun in 257 Robt's in layaway and anxious to get it home.

I have a vintage #1B. in 257 Roberts. This is a heaver rifle. The actions are all pretty much the same. I have no problems loading a heavy charge of IMR4350 and a 100gr. Sierra Spitzer for 3200 fps. with excellent accuracy. Have at it with the +P's.

All No. 1 Have the Same Action

To the best of my knowledge, all Ruger No. 1s are built with exactly the same action. Some might say, over built. That is why Regan Nonneman can re-barrel and/or re-chamber any No. 1 to any cartridge your little heart desires. Here is a link to his site. Check it out.

Ruger No. 1


He did a job for me. Not changing cartridges, but rather turning my moderately accurate Ruger No. 1A in 222 into a very accurate 1V in 222.

That is to say, he turned this:



Into this:


Now I am considering buying some great looking wood to make a very special stock. Then I will be finished messing with that rifle.

I could just as easily have had the rifle turned into a 1A in 300 Win Mag, if I wanted one. All he would have needed to change would have been the barrel.
