Are you just necking down alpha 7 saw brass ? And where did you get the reamer?
Blackhole bullets 25cal

WTO has reamers. My barrels are remage prefits from Preferred Barrel Blanks. Takes two different bushings to neck down.

Interesting...
For my 257 Roberts and AI, i'm taking 7X57 Mauser and just running through a full length sizer and trim.
A 257 Robert's would be cool to just have.

I have the Roberts in a Ruger 77 MKII.
Searched for quite a few years to find THAT rifle in THAT chambering at a price I could finally afford.
Quite effective with 115gr Nosler Ballistic Tips and Berger VLD on deer.
90gr Sierra BlitzKing are ideal on coyotes!!
My 257 Roberts AI is built on a Savage 111.
Same 115gr bullets are just as effective on deer, but shoots the 120gr class bullets just as well.
Still no good on-game performance data?
I'd like to hear some good results concerning LR grouping and some smacked up bucks !

Hopefully I will have some better reports this year. I drew 2 deer tags here in Idaho and I'm going to try my best to get out farther then 200 lol. But can't promise
I also have some to hopefully use on game this fall
Good deal. And good luck with em

Looking forward to your report on how they perform.Hopefully I will have some better reports this year. I drew 2 deer tags here in Idaho and I'm going to try my best to get out farther then 200 lol. But can't promise
Bumping this back up as it's finally cooling off and I can get some load data form my 24" 25 saw running black hole 145gr. I'm now having a 22" 25 PRC barrel made and will love to see what it can do. Will update soon

Don't use the 145 Black Hole bullets; they are P-

Just got my souper done and the gunsmith test fired it with the 145s and 7828. This is the first 3 shots out of the rifle.
