I wanted to have a Thompson Center Encore barrel made in 25 WSSM but I was told it was to much pressure for the frame. It would be better in a Remington XP-100 bolt action.. Then I saw your round the 25 ARS and the 250 SS. I would like to use the 7.62 X 39 brass since there is so much of it out there. But I don't know where to start. Where can I get dies. and I guess I will have to buy the reamer and send it to the barrel maker. This round looks Like it would be perfect for Florida deer and hogs. and with a smaller 85gr bullet it will be great for Coyotes and other predators. Can you point me in the right direction. You can Email me at sniper1x@hotmail.com. Thank you..... Attachments:

I have the reamers for the 250 SS and the 257 ARS. We are going to have die sets made for the 257 when we finalize everything. What platform are you looking at, the Contender or Encore?

The Encore it will take the higher presuers then the Confender. I like the 25 caliber bullet, it fits in right in the middle of everything. Putting a 85 gr. to 100 gr. bullet on top of a 762 x 39 case will make an all around package for most of Floridas game...

Fire formed cases with the new 257 ARS chamber yesterday. Will look into sending them out for dies or doing the dies ourselves. I talked with Dave Manson about the reamers and we'll take a look at that. Its going to be a time thing as we are behind already...

Got the cases and bullets together to send out for making up some dies. Just don't have the time to do the work ourselves.

How are the dies for the 257 ARS coming... I leave today for an Alabama deer hunt would love to have one to try out up here. I read to build me a custom Encore from your round.... It could catch on....
