Hello All,

I'm looking to build a 257 Kimber.

I have the cartridge specs, but just thought I'd ask here if anyone might have, or know of a 'smith that might have, or a reamer manufacturer that might have...a reamer.

Thanks All

I hope somebody more knowledgeable than I can chime in, but I wanted to welcome you to our forum.

You can e-mail me for additional (or some) info on the 257K ctg. I developed it - had the reamer made, djinned some fine accurate loads (so did Layne, but he was doing a "scoop"). See Handloader this month. Nifty little effort.
Hell, I'll even send you some pics of all the over-200lb. varmints I've tagged with it.

You can get reload data on-line at Hogdon or specs in their manual #36.
