7x57 Favorite loads?
« on: March 28, 2004, 01:37:06 PM »
:D I built up a 98 mauser(rebarreled, sporterized, and restocked) a few years ago in 7x57. I figured now was the time to work up some loads. Does anyone have a pet load that works well? :lol:

Your Mauser will have a fast twist barrel so it will favor 160 to 175 gr bullets. I have loaded some reduced velocity in weights as light as 115 grs that were quite accurate.

My Mauser likes the Hornady 162 gr SP with 40 gr of IMR 4895 and a Win standard primer. I get an honest 2500 fps with very nice groups.
