    I bought a new Marlin 62 from KMart back in the mid-60s. Later, I found buying loaded ammunition was getting difficult so I went the reloading route and bought RCBS .357 to .256 conversion dies. I...

    I went the .223 route to form a few hundred cases for the Tokarevs and C96s. I found it enjoyable. Cut, form, and ream. Besides it gave some "me" time on cold, wintry nights.

    CBs for a .256 Win Mag?

    I have two .256 WM lever rifles, a Marlin 62 and a converted '92 Winchester. Are there any sources for cast bullets? Most bullets vendors do not even list a .257 cast bullet.

    A few years ago, my first attempt at reloading a DA38 Colt was a real learning and frustrating event. Admittedly, a novice, it took almost four hours to load 50 rounds. I have not done it again.
