Why don't you just make it out of Lapua or Winchester?

RWS, click here pricey but great brass it will last a long time.

Winchester no longer makes 7x57, nor Lapua

Ok so where do I find RWS brass in bulk ( like 200 cases or more) as I plan to shoot this rifle a lot! Thank you for the replies it is appreciated. Also, I read reviews on prvi partisan brass....cheaper not lapua, but good consitent brass...anyone concur with this?

I did not say buy some. I said make some. Get '06 brass, from Win or Lapua, 6MM Rem brass .257 Roberts brass from Winchester and reform, trim to length, neck turn, anneal etc. Not hard you can use your 7x57 FL Sizing die.

no sense in getting getting offended, I dont want to go through that troubke thank you. I am already having to turn necks and fireform cases, I dont want much more effort in this already 5 year project! Also I am not wealthy nor am I arrogant about what I do....but thanks for the response

No idea what wealth or arrogance has to do with offering a solution to your problem?? The cost to make the brass is about zero. If you have a sizing die, a trimmer and small Benzomatic type torch. Good luck with your search .

ok so will get 8x57 brass from lapua and size them to fit my chamber....thanx

 

[RTH1800]

.257 Roberts or 6MM Remington will work as well. Might be easier than necking down and turning.
Good Luck with your loading.

OK, I purchased 100 Lapua 8x57 brass, its here. I have a full length resizing die coming from Redding. The question is: how hard is it to use this die on 8x57 and not have issues with the neck, the 40° shoulder, or buckling the case? Any knowledgeable advice will be greatly appreciated, Thanks....
