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

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.

Sportsmans warehouse in Vacaville or basspro in Manteca.. You can order online and ship to store to pickup still (I’m thinking)).
Cheers...

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.
