.257 TCU

[casper_zip]

Chuck from Pa. I probably sent you this data a year or so ago, it was safe in my Super 14", no pressure signs. I put 10 shots into one hole and shot all these thru my chrono.

The ten shots averaged 2740 FPS
Muzzle energy on all ten averaged 1250.6 Ft/lbs

THESE ARE SAFE IN MY GUN. The powder used was AA-2200 and the bullets were Sierra 75 grain Hollow Points.

So, you can see, this gun takes no back seat to any gun, both in power, and accuracy.

Best,

Sir - You humble me with your comments.  I'm just an old shooter who enjoys what he does.  As you can see, I haven't been on the Board all that much lately.  Hope you got the e-mails that I sent.  Keep enjoying that 257 - it's a peach !!     Rupe/PA

I really enjoyed following this post on the 25's.  By the amount of replies to it, I see that I am not alone.  I've been wanting to work with the new 6.8 rem spc, but can't help but wonder how great it would be to use this brass as the basis for a 25.  I'm sure that jdj or bb could get the ball rolling.  From what I see the 6.8 spc should be great in the contender, but you just have to wonder what a 257 bullet in the 100-120  gr range with the better B.C. would do........
