Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles 7x57 and 175 grain Round Nose

I have two 7x57 rifles that I reload for and have been searching for some 175 grain round nose. As any 7mm caliber rifle shooters who happen to reload will know; the 7mm round nose bullets are no longer being made by Sierra, Hornady, Remington, or any of the other major bullet makers.

I particularly like the 175 gain Round nose for my 7x57s as a deer hunting round. They have always put down game with authority and with not much meat damage. So I was thrilled when I went into a local gun shop that specializes in "muzzle loaders" and happened on to a old box of Remington 175 grain round nose ammunition. I paid $20.00 for the box of 20 and felt lucky to have them.

Now what? Use them, hoard them, or just save them for posterity?
