Thread: Pet loads for the 7x57

@Ryan_Songhurst. I owned and loaded for a Hunter, similar if not same as Viscount. Longtime ago now. No problems that I recall. Don't have any data noted but from memory was always close to max from reloading manuals published in the 70's nd 80's. My current loads have been developed for Ruger M77 Mk1 with a Shilen barrel. Usual disclaimers apply.
140 Accubond 47.7 N204 2700 fps, 140 Nos BT 48.9 760 2830 fps. Rem 150 coreloct 48 2209 2700 fps. All happily under minute of angle, although the Rem's can be a bit of a bitch in regard to projectile consistency. I've found the most consistent powder to be W760. Am currently working up a load with H414, some say it's same as W760 but that's above my paygrade. I've pushed the envelope a bit with the 140 Nos Bt, simply trying to get as much velocity as I safely can and still under MOA. The aim to get the projectile to perform at longer range. I use F210's with all powders but have also used Winchester with no noticable difference. 7 x 57's an awesome cartridge.
