    7x57 loads

    Is anyone loading for a 7x57 ? Any recipes appreciated. I'm just trying to sort a load for a Mauser.

    Doesn't have to be super accurate. Just bone smashing power as its a bush rifle.

    I have one, it's an old girl but anyway 41 grns off 2208 with 160 Barnes is a tight load with that particular rifle.
