FWIW, I'm one of those people who are happy with the book velocities and the low pressures in my 7x57 handloads. I knew, going into it, that I wasn't going to look for more than that.

Also knew, that if I wanted more velocity from 7mm bullets, I would go with a .280 or a 7mm Rem. Mag.

I don't fret it. And I suspect there are others who are content with it, too.
