serious question - who hunts with a 7x57 and does not reload (ie. uses only factory fodder)? i have repeatedly read about the "slow" factory offerings due to the availability (and use) of older rifles.
When my son first started hunting with his Ruger I bought 80 rds of Hornady 139 gr BT Interlocks to shoot for a while and save the brass. He shot 3 does with the factory loads from about 60 yds out to just over 100. Two went 30 or 40 yds and the other dropped. One about 110 to 120 lbs was facing and he put the round between her shoulder and neck. We found it up against the opposite side femur when cutting up the deer. Nice expansion, no core separation, just a flat spot on the mushroom where it butted the bone. No idea the velocity but they kill deer.
Colossians 3:17 (New King James Version) "And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him."
