Just back from the range. I have not shot the 7x57 in at least 3 years (the oryx was last), threw the QD'd scope on and tossed 3 in 3/4" right at 2" high dead center at 100. This with 140 AB's. Done. Decided my foul weather piece will be my CZ 527 Carbine 7.62x39. With Wolf 122 gr copper jacketed HP's it kept 3 inside 1 1/2". Done. Also found some 44 Special loads with the 250 gr Keith (Lyman) at ~1000 fps using HS-6. Will bring along the 3" Smith 624 for close in pig combat.
