7x57 MAX loads in MY rifles, Please drop a few grains and work up.

154gn Hornady SST Bullet
50gn H 414 Fed 210 80 F 2808 2697
44gn VARGET Fed 210 80 F 2711 2514
51gn H 4350 Fed 210 80 F 2799 2680

I got a even 2800fps with the 150gn Parition using the H 414 load.

45.8 grains of H4350 gives me 2700fps with a 168 Classic Berger. Hits like a mack truck at 300.

i just got my 7-08AI built by Jim Kobe, has a 26" tube on it, im fully expecting 2750+ with 168bergers with it. Its a long range steel gun, and maybe varmint. Something about pounding steel at 1400+ yards with something using less than 50gr of powder is just fuggin cool :-D

Thanks Aussie, for those loads. Grabbed several boxes of 150LRABs when Nosler was still making bullets. Ran them thru a mag for plains hunt last year and this year the 7x57 gets the nod.

I'm curious....do some folks think that's "good" bullet performance?




The 280 Remington is overbore.

The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

I think it's good performance but poor placement


One shot, one kill........ It saves a lot of ammo!

Don't know, can't really get much softer than a Berger though. I've shot deer with 178 amax and 208 and both did fine.
