257

I have a 257 Roberts I bought last year, it is a Ruger Model 77. I want to start reloading and was wondering about the +P. Can I reload any 257 brass with the +P chart or do I need special brass for that?

No special brass need,just make sure that your rifle is +P rated. Most powders will give you higher MV without +P higher pressure loading.

You can use whatever brass you like. I have found +p brass thicker walled and sometimes I fill the case completely (compressed load)with no pressure signs. The standard brass is fine.
