    seems there might be some expensive stuff available @ midwayusa.com

    all my friends that use .257 Roberts reload their own for this reason...

    Yeah...looking like I may have too. Sucks though cuz I can't hunt with the gun for any game outside of yotes if I want to destroy them but want to get it honed in because a future trip to Wyoming for antelope may be first trip made with the gun. Thanks guys.

    good luck with finding some. Too bad it's fading away b/c it's a nice cartridge...largely been replaced by the .243 I guess.

    I was kind of thinking the same thing but then decided to be nice...maybe he inherited it or it holds some other sentimental value. I know Ty knows his way around a gun store so it can't have been unforeseen.

    Yeah for clarity guys, it was inherited. It actually belonged to the friend of mine whom I dedicated last season too in that video some of you have seen. He was a huge antelope hunter so I would love to have my first hunt with it be for that some year...but to do so you gotta have ammo haha. I got about 40 reloads/shot brass so if I can't find anyone with affordable ammo...I will have to seek a reloader with dies and buy all the stuff and have a reloading get together.
