[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 894397, member: 25383"] There are some guys on the Accurate Shooter board experimenting with the .257AI case necked upto 6.5. They are shooting 140 grain bullets at very long range (about 1000 yards) with some very good results. One guy posted his load data, and said he was seeing 2950 fps with no pressure signs. Cases were formed from standard .257 brass, and the reamer is from Dave Kiff. Of course there is the 6.5x57 improved case design that is slightly larger in volume, but also harder to come by. With .257 case, you can buy a bushing die for the .257AI for starters, and ream the neck of a Forster .257AI seater. The standard Forster .257AI die could even have the neck honed out about .010" to get a full length die. Of course if there was a source for .257AI brass, you'd be way ahead in the game plan. gary [/QUOTE]
