5.56 is cheaper to shoot but the 7.62 is much more deadly. That is on my late 2015 to do list . The build is easy just time and patience.

Roger that. The 5.56 I can get for zip at the in-service sessions, but I do like the 7.62

Depends on the build. What's it for?

Nice rifle Doc. Don't listen to the chimp, at least you put powder in the brass you DO have

Nice find. I'm not even remotely familiar with that caliber. Hunting caliber I suppose right? Enjoy

It was a wildcat round that became so popular in it's time that it was offered in both "factory ammo" and production rifles chambered for the round.

Reloading dies in .257 Roberts are still available, and I'll bet that Starline makes brass in the caliber too.

What's the fun in that? The thrill of the component hunt is part of the fun in reloading a new caliber.

Congrats on the new acquisition !
