Gladesman,

I've just barely started experimenting with the 162 ELD-X in the 7mm-08 and 7x57, but have been shooting the 160 Sierra GameKing for years at 2700 from the 7x57. Have tried a bunch of bullet weights and eventually decided around 160 grains works great, partly because the moderate muzzle velocity doesn't put too much stress on cup-and-cores at modest ranges, yet performance is very good at longer ranges too. Have used the 160 GameKing out to 400 with fine results, but we'll see how the 162 Hornady does.
