Today at the Bench.....

[Flyeralan]

Last night I sized some 7x57 range brass, still need to trim it.

This morning I neck sized and primed 99 257 Roberts brass, to fireform to 257 Ackley. I also pulled 30 45/70 rounds apart (that were given to me years ago),I like using these unknown primers for my fireforming so I don’t have to use any in my stash.

Ive got some 22-250 and 308 marlin express I need to pull down also, but I’ll save that for another day.

How long have you had the 257 Ackley? 2 things I've always wanted, a 257 Roberts and an Ackley of some sort. I may be a little envious, lol. Always was a 243 fan and thought the 243 Ackley might come into play some day. We shall see.

I had it built around 2003 or 4. I played with it for awhile, found a couple good loads, killed a few deer, then put it away. I dusted her off a few years ago and have started to do some more serious load development.
