Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles 7x57 loads in a modern action

I have not done any serious reloading for the 7X57 in years. When I did, I was reloading for 2 of them, my son's custom 98 with 22 inch barrel, and my Winchester Model 70 Lightweight with 22 inch barrel. I used Hornady 139 grain SP's, and IMR4350 powder, 48 or 49 in the Mauser, and 51 grains in the Winchester. I could never quite reach the 2800 fps mark, but it didn't matter, as they both killed deer dead, and that was what really mattered. I keep thinking I need to drag the Model 70 back out and mess with it again.
