    Reloading for 257Roberts and 270Win on a budget

    Am interested in reloading for 257Roberts and .270Win; primarily a set of used reloading dies and ~Qty.100 matched-headstamp used cases.

    Added to the above could perhaps be some hunting bullets - I prefer Hornady, but have other sources for those so less critical.

    I do have a few good Leupold hunting scopes for sale on another forum, so partial trades for one of those could be possible.

    Thank you,

    Think I have a partial box of Hornady 257 bullets, a 20 round box of new W-W 257 Roberts and there's a bunch of 270 still in the drawer, I'll have to check if I have a hundred of the same headstamp.

    Barring that, I have 110 mixed headstamp 270's listed for sale.

    100 even Winchester headstamp 270's that appear to be once fired.

    1 box of 20, Winchester 257 Roberts, +P, new.

    1 partial box of ~48 Hornady 257 ballistic tip bullets, forgot to write down the weight or part #. Next time I'm in the shed.

    I don't need any scopes, greenbacks keep the kinda girls I go with smiling..........

    Let me know if you're interested.

    270 I don't have one, brass too many. Bullets I'll check but ?? on them.

    257 well I can help with Dies.... Maybe and bullets maybe. Trouble is that;s the kiddo(s) gun.

    Thank you for the replies above;
    It looks like I have the reloading dies secured, and probably the .270 brass w/ a pending trade.

    Am still looking for Hornady Interlock or maybe Nosler hunting bullets in both calibers; also still looking for used .257 Roberts brass.

    I must say that folks here on this forum have been so helpful
    Best regards,

    Have sent PM's to some of the recent replies above, thank you.

    -----

    Between the helpful leads above, it looks like I am set for just about everything except for 257Roberts brass at this point.
    Thank you & best regards,

    I have some Roberts brass at the house in my misc brass bin. It's not anywhere near 100 pieces, but it is once fired from what I can tell. I'd have to count it to see how much I have. But I'd be willing to just ship it to you if you need it. It's already been tumbled clean, but unprocessed otherwise... PM me if you're interested.
    Currently looking for a Lyman/Ideal 311419 Mold - PM if you have one you'd like to get rid of!

    abunaitoo was able to get me squared away with enough 257 brass, as well as plenty of .257's.
    Am also set for .270Win brass & heavier hunting bullets, but if anybody comes across some old 90's or 100's on the back of the shelf, please feel free to send me a pm.
    Thanks to all,
