Thinking about a 1.75-5 or straight 3x.

Bought some Norma Oryx boolit tips (as they like to say in California) 156 gr. to load.

Anyone have experience with these? Norma's website has data for their 204 powder of which I have none...but think H414/H4350/IMR4350 are suitable equivalents.

They also list MRP...seem to recall the RL22 would suffice. Time to renew my sub. to loaddata.com



Gorgeous rifle.

If nothing else, you could always peruse data.hodgdon.com and compare notes (if you will) between their 150 and 160 loads; find a starting point that's between the two and play with figures a bit.

My wife's going to be using a 7x57 in Africa in 5 years....although she doesn't exactly know it yet. wink
