"An archer sees how far he can be from a target and still hit it, a bowhunter sees how close he can get before he shoots." It is certainly easy to use that same line of thinking with firearms. -- Unknown

Mule Deer's recipe for long range - 400 yard - 7x57 loads (posted on the Magnificent 7x57 thread)
-----------------------------
Have done that with a couple of loads:

The Nosler 140 Tip and 50.0 grains of IMR4350. This was in a "red pad" Ruger No. 1A with the typical very long throat of older Ruger 7x57's, and would be a pretty hot load in some rifles. Muzzle velocity was around 2850 fps.

The Sierra 160 GameKing and 46.0 grains of H4350. This was in my Kilimanjaro custom rifle, which has a minimal throat, so probably wouldn't be too hot in many rifles. Muzzle velocity is right around 2700 fps.

I sighted my old Brno 21H in at 200 yds with the 139 gr Horn. SST over 45 grs of H4350 and two shots went into 1" at 200yds.

Don,

What about statistical probability and the confidence value of a two shot group?

Being you mentioned it, my .223 shoots a smaller one shot group than my .45-70. Gotta be a more accurate round...

Does anyone have any data using Vectan powder? I sometimes see that around for a decent price.

Is this "the" Ingwe 7x57?
Is this possible?


When truth is ignored, it does not change an untruth from remaining a lie.

It needed a new home where it would get a change of diet and some exercise.
