I went on the web sight,
There is a place to request new cartridges, I recommended the .257 Roberts,. Winchester stopped producing it, Remington has it as special run. Hornady makes but its hard to find, nosler is hard to find, and way expensive. Both Ruger and Kimber are chambering for the bob ! maybe if enough of you guys go the starline sight and request it, we will have a new alternative. I just bought 50 starline 45/70 today and saved 17.00 and changed over Winchester ! ...tj3006

Hmmm.....?
They assured me a month back they had ZERO intentions of making 300 WSM. But, they’ll take special orders?

Not special orders,but if enough people request a certain caliber they will consider making it.Over on the MO forums enough folks asked for 375 Win. brass and they now make it.Not only that their brass is top notch.Huntz

I requested 7x57 4 or 5 months ago. Hopefully they'll make it and the .257. It appears that most of the "new" rifle calibers they have come out with are ones that will work in AR platform stuff.

Starline .45-90 brass I bought was so hard it had to be annealed three times before I could neck it down to .40-80, and even then it was a death march getting 50 done, in a Rock Chucker no less.

Thanks for posting- I've had a tough time finding (reasonably priced) 257 Roberts brass for a couple years- I'm gonna make a request too, now that I know I can. I've bought their 243 and 308 brass through Midway, as well as their pistol brass selections, with good success I went on the web sight,

Winchester do a run of Roberts brass every few years. You have to grab a supply when you can and make it last. We got some Winchester Roberts brass out here last year and I bought another 5x50 bags. Very strange, we also got a big supply of Winchester .250 Savage brass last week in one of the shops. I don't think I've seen any of that for sale for about 8-10 years. I already have 3x50 bags but will probably buy a couple more.

Starline makes good brass. They probably don't know they made the entire world's supply of .30 Sneezer brass.

Hmmmm...7X57, 6mm Rem, 257 Rob, all from the same basic cartridge. May be doable.

I have enough to last awhile, but would not have a problem buying another 100-200 cases of .256 Winchester Magnum brass. I've got a bit from Quality Cartridge and some original Winchester. I prefer the Winchester stuff and have heard great things about Starline brass, I'd certainly be in for a coupla hundred of the correct headstamp .256 cases. 25-20 is getting harder to find also, last time I checked.

Where do you make the request? I have a 257 Roberts and need new cases as well. Thanks!
The lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part!

They list and stock 414 SuperMag brass, which to my knowledge was chambered in several thousand LESS arms sold than the 256.... If 100 people have a 414 Super Mag, they probably aren't shooting them.
