The calibre is listed in Quickload so if you tell me what bullet and brand of powder you want to use, I can give you some suggestions. The RWS relaoding manual has loads for the .257 cal Hornady 100gr SP and and 117 gr RN bullets, but they only list Rottweil powder.

Welcome to the Fire.

Never heard of that one, which means nothing except it was worth checking out. Would love to see some pics if you can post.

Load data, doesn't seem to be much out there and it appears it was designed for light weight bullets. Weights lister were 55-85 grains.
