A .257 Roberts and .41 Mag got me into loading.

Ammo for both was hard to come by, and expensive when you did.

At that time the .257 Roberts factory rounds were loaded at much lower pressures than modern rifles can handle, thus the curiosity of what this classic caliber in a Ruger 77 was truly capable of delivering.

Handloading is all about performance for me. I do admit that I've not hesitated to buy .45 Win Mag's, .454 Casull, 7X61 S&H, 6.8 SPC, .450 Bushmaster, .357 Rem Max, 7X57 and several other caliber firearms because I'm not at the mercy of factory offerings.

As posted earlier, the ability to "season to taste" is what got me into it, and what's kept me in it.
