I have 300 Hornady 7mm 162 GR A-Max bullets that should arrive today and i will be working up a load with Hod 4831SC in my 7x57 . I presently have been using the Sierra 160 gr BTHP with 49.0 gr of 4831SC and should be able to use the same powder charge with the Hornady bullet. My rifle seems to prefer 4831 over 4350, but will also try Hod 4350 working up to 47 gr.'s with the 162 gr A-Max. The A-Max 162 gr will become my go to bullet in the 7x57 if it groups well in my rifle.


A Doe walks out of the woods today and says, that is the last time I'm going to do that for Two Bucks.
