Title says it all, I'm looking for .257 Roberts brass. Would also consider ammunition if posting it here does not violate forum rules.

Please PM me.

Just seen a guy on Armslist is selling quite a bit of Winchester 257 Roberts new in the bag. Might want to check it out..

 

[nwbob]

did you find your brass?

 

[DLS]

While is seems there is plenty right now, often I've found .257 Roberts brass difficult to find.

If so you can easily use 7mm Mauser brass as that is the parent cartridge the Roberts was derived from. It's probably one of the easiest case reforming options out there.

Simply run the Mauser case through your .257 sizing die and load from there. The sizer will easily neck down the case to proper dimensions and the amount of reduction in the neck is small enough that you will not need to worry about case neck thickness.

do you know if the person that posted this ad is still looking?

 

[DLS]

Me, no. But the OP is viewing this thread as I type so he should give an answer.

Thanks for the 7mm Mauser tip. nwbob, still looking for .257 brass but not real interested in nickle finish.
