What is a .257 Kimber?


The 257 Kimber was developed by Mike Hill of Washington State and introduced by Kimber in the model 84 rifle in 1986. It is the 222 Rem Magnum case necked up to 257, body taper reduced and the shoulder moved up. (Hodgdon Data manual No. 26).


Good lord! The .222 Magnum was introduced in 1958, and it took until 1986 for that vital slot, so wide that an elephant could be driven through it, to be filled?

Not a real member - just an ordinary guy who appreciates being able to hang around and say something once in awhile.

Not only a less than minimally educated person, but stupid and out of touch as well.
