[QUOTE="thomasbangs, post: 2690308, member: 49922"] I have a pre-64 Winchester Model 70, standard weight that I've been loading for 50 years. I started with Remington brass because in early 70's 257 Roberts brass was scarce where I lived and Remington was all I could find, years later I did find some older Winchester brass on shelves in some stores here out West. I full length resize in RCBS dies and have not had any problems. I have also sized down 7X57 cases in the 257 Roberts die with no problems although lube neck with finger lube good and or necking down midway like the 260 Remington would help but just a extra step. Back east I harvested groundhogs and red fox with it, for the last 45 years out west I've used it to take several deer and more than a few coyotes. It will shoot 5 shot one inch groups at 100 yards from a bench with 75 gr. Sierra hollow points, 87 gr. Sierra Spitzer points, 100 gr. Speer Spitzer points, and both the Nosler 100 gr. Ballistic Tip and the 100 gr. Nosler Partition. I use IMR 4064 for the 75 and 87 gr. bullets and IMR 4350 for the 100 gr. bullets. [/QUOTE]
