The 7x57 is my current "go-to" rifle. Mine is a Winchester Featherweight. The load I use most often is a 140 grain Nosler Partition over 49 grains of Reloder 19 in a Remington case with a CCI 200 primer.
Same rifle used...
I load a 140 ballistic tip instead, and with a load of 44 grains of 4064 or IMR 4895... MV is 2800 on the nose..
If I need a heavier bullet, I go with the 175 grain RN Hornady, with a 40 grain charge of 3031 ( out of an older Hodgdon manual) with an MV of 2650 fps...
the same charge of 3031 with a 154 grain Hornady RN also is a favorite load...MV at 2700 fps..
