257 ammo

[santiclean]

does anyone out there sell 257 reloads? dont have the equipment and would really like to try a few boxes though my mod. 700

Santi, I would not ever fire reloads that I didn't create or was not a part of creating. Buy some factory ammo and enjoy one of my favorite cartridges.

Buying reloaded ammo can be a bad deal for both parties. The loader needs a special license and liabilty insurance. And the buyer may need the insurance as well. There are small companies doing it, you might try google and "custom
loaded ammunition-.257.

do you have a favorite factory ammo you like best? the only one i have tried so far is the hornady custom 117 gr. in my area the 257 is very hard to find and very pricey when you do. the gun is a mod. 700 classic i picked up on gun broker, i really like smaller calibers like this and hope i will be pleased with it on whitetail.

You will be very pleased. The winchester and remington ammo are a little slower, they are held to around 48,00 C.U.P. And for some reason they still use a R.N. bulletThe hornady light mag load is the fastest. and is available in two spire point loads. just double click on this link

Truth is any of these loads is a pretty good deer smacker. And how do those prices compare to what you have been seeing?

Let me know if the factory ammo works for you. I've wanted a 257 for a long time.

The factory hornady runs about 32.00 a box when you can find it. thats the custom not the light magnum. the federal is the brand i would like to try but can not be found unless ordered. thanks for all the help and i will let you know how it does..

The link that I posted, sportsmans guide, is a good place to order ammo. But you really have to watch their other items. What they, sometimes, call 4 star is a little iffy.
