roundoak, I bought mine in 1977 brand new in the box for $160, I was sure I got screwed. It has the longer throat but I've never had a problem using 139 gr Horn SP,140 gr NPT's in it for decent groups. The 154 grn Hornady RN's are of course exceptional in it. Jack could have wrote and hunted more about the 7x57 and left his wife at home. MB
