Rifle came in today. A buddy of mine sent me 60 rounds of once fired brass and 100 90gr Hornady GMX projectiles. Of course now I am waiting on scope mounts. Seems what I have on hand never works.

They revised SAAMI load data (a long time ago) with the 257 Roberts +P to make it still a viable contender, even using factory ammo. There are several rifle cartridges that have died off due to unnecessarily anemic pressure limits. I think there's so much incentive to push new, new, new. Not betting for a big comeback on any of the old war horses, but it's nice if they can stick around..257 Roberts seems to be having a retro-comeback here.
I started a thread a while back on what 'obsolete' cartridge would be resurrected, but I don't remember this being brought up at all. Yet it seems like everywhere I look this caliber is getting mentioned. New ammo, new guns in it and a lot of mention in the gun media.
I know the feeling. Been waiting for S&W to make a 3 series in 45LC.......I think 25-06 is the greatest whitetail cartridge ever, followed closely by the .270. My ideal gun would be a short action quarter bore driving 117 grains at about 3100-3200 fps from 18". Maybe Federal will make a 25 BC...
I can dream.
