    I have to get what I want to say right!

    You will hate the 7mm loads, but, they all have vastly different throats, so there is great variety in results of the same loads. But try:

    50 grains H4350 and a 139 grain interlock for 2925 fps (24 inch barrel) This is a modern rifle though, not a rolling block...

    Cool.
    I have loaded for two other 7x57 rifles this year - one needed 52g of 2209 to get that same velocity, and another (using older 2209 ) needed 53.5 grains.

    I found similiar with a ex mil 98 in 7mm.
    Big revelation in changing to w760.
    Less powder for better velocity and accuracy.

    W760 is the equivalent of ADI 2209

    Not in a 7mm mouser.
