Yes, I have .257 on the brain since manufacturers came out with "serious" high SD/BC bullets--it's like deja vue all over again. I was on the phone today with James Kessler at Northland Shooters Supply intending to order just a LA action when I casually asked how long it is taking Shilien to make a custom barrel these days, for example if I wanted to order a special 25 Creedmoor. Turns out James has a stash of them ready-made almost exactly the way I had in mind--and very reasonably priced and no up to a year waiting. Needless to say--the phone call ended up being more expensive than I had intended. I also have a batch of Alpha ammunition 25 creed brass in SR primer with reinforced primer cups on the way. I'm beginning to think the day is coming soon when I may never see large rifle primers again in the US in my lifetime.
