.257 Weatherby loads for Rem 700 CDL SSF

Listed on Hodgdon's site as .257 Weatherby Magnum.
Midway shows No$ler, of all places, as being the least expensive at $67.99 per 50. Followed by Norma at $34.49 per 20($154.99 per 100). Hornady is on out of stock, no back order.
 
"Need load data for this caliber. Also need Brass."

Your loading manual doesn't have data for the Wby????

I think I'm using 7828SSC in mine. Also have some old production AA870(0). Would not expect top performance from any powder faster than 4831.

Re: cases
If you can find the Norma made Wby ammo (around $30-35 a box), you get good cases and it's already loaded for the same cost as Wby/Nosler brass.
 
I have read and now seen 7mm rem brass turned into 257 Weatherby by just running them through the die with lots of lube.

The guy I saw at the range with one said it was common practice.

Just a thought if you are short on brass.
