I'm sitting on 32 lbs of it.. so it'll be a while for me to be out of it...
however, if you want a good practice load in anything from a 243 right up to a 30/06...
I always rely on 30 grains of IMR 4198...
in a 7 x 57 that's pretty safe right up to 160 grain bullets in my experiences with my Model 70 and my Ruger...
If ya want I can dig up a target taken with a 7 x 57 using Blue Dot with IIRC a 130 grain Sierra SP... a 25cent size hole at 100 yds for 5 shots...
Running right at 2400 fps...
