    Need .257 Roberts Non-Lead Ammo

    Looking for 257 non-lead ammo. Anyone know where I can get some or who might be able to make it for me?
    Thanks.

    If your near HB I will let you make some on my single stage. If I can make 15-20 for my .257R.

        I am closer and if you want to come by we can but some together for you. I load 257R for my daughter as well as myself.
        I would be illegal for me(or anyone) to just make the ammo and sell it to you. The process is not hard and I can walk you thru it and help you load some. I have done so with quite a number of other people.
        A 30cal will reach out and touch them. A 50cal will kick their butt.

          Check out Doubletap ammo they make a lead free 257 Roberts.

            Hendershot's in Hancock Maryland.

            They have several bullet choices but offer Barnes TSX and TTSX in 80 and 100gn

              No better time to start hand loading then now.

                  I'm doing some testing of lead free 101 gr E-tip Noslers in a newly put together .257 Roberts. I think that the Noslers are a bit too long to properly stabilize at .257 Roberts speeds.
                  So, I think that I would recommend going with the Barnes 80 gr TTSX, or the 90 gr Hornady GMX. Though I haven't had a chance to test them yet.

                    80gr TTSX work well with IMR4064 powder

                      Got my Barnes .257 lead free bullets today. I'm sure they will have no problems stabilizing.
