I see Nosler has several loads for the 257 bee but I didn't see where they are selling their brass. I did a quick search of the past post to see if there was any info and I didn't find any. I just wanted to know if there are any plans to offer just the brass ?
 
from what I can tell norma is the only one that makes 257 wby brass and they make it for weatherby also

you may want to try resizing 7mag brass worked great for me and was more accurate than the actual norma stuff
 
+1, 7mm rem brass is fairly simple to reform and neck turn. I go in two steps, first to .264 neck diameter by way of a 264 win neck die and then .257 with the FL 257 wby die. Neck turning is advised. I would fear excessive pressure with a unturned neck since it will be a bit thicker

As a side note, careful loadworkup is a must if you use reformed brass because the internal capacity may not be the same as the tested cases.
I'd recommend starting 8 grains or 10% below max charge.

Use this technique at your own risk, I will not assume any liability for use of it.
