MD I will amend my list accordingly, thanks.

efw: A red stag is a big animal for such a medium cartridge like the 7x57R. I knew I would be hunting inside the forest and might need to shoot at a bad angle and chose a bullet that would penetrate deeply. I will now be hunting Roe Deer, and my next hunts in October and November will be for Chamois. Both are small animals and I will rather hunt them with a conventional bullet. Chamois sometimes require long shots (even by traditional standards, not by the more modern sniping trend) and at expected reduced speeds I'd rather shoot a cc bullet than a monolithic.

wyoming260: It is the central-European version of the blue tape I often see in the photos here. Wool and leather instead of plastic grin grin

VARGET did it!

46.0gr in Norma once fired cases and RWS 5333 standard primers.

The two first shots with the Magneto attatched touched each other and read 2,935 and 2,948 fps, the first being shot through a clean barrel. They printed about ten inches high, by the way, and missed the paper.

The next four went into 0,61" at my range's 109 yards.

I don't think I'll go through the trouble of working the load up to the desired 3,050 fps or so...
