What is 257 Ingram?

Where could I get a die set? This is just for humor. Saw a barrel on Gunbroker, but lug looked like it was welded by the new guy!

I would guess 222 mag necked up to 25 cal. With sharper shoulder angle. Much like the 7TCU.

You could try CH4D as they make the majority of wildcat dies out there.

Nope, but the make a 270 Ingram….which is likely close.

Saw it on Gunbroker, but looks like barrel & no dies.

I believe the Ingram cartridges were based on the 223 case similar to TCUs only with a 45 degree shoulder.

If memory serves me right the Ingram was 6 X 47 which would make it 222 magnum. If based on 223 would be 6 X 45 mm.

Could be right, I’m going by a very old memory

I've got CRS but I was looking real hard at a Ingram. Went short and fat(like me) then had to decide 6BR or 6PPC. BR won out.

I’m still laughing, I feel your pain 😂

Is the parent case the 223 or 222 Rem Mag???

The original ingram was 222 rem mag. When I get home I should be able to dig up the info. It will be a couple days. I'm 2000miles from home right now and have to get my retna attached on the way home.

This is the original ingram cartridge.
