Is 2800 pushing the 7x57 to the edge of its capability with a 150? Never worked with it.

It's well above "load book" data, centered around the anemic pressures of the x57 (50K), but very doable in a modern action (65K).

QL calculates 150gr Nosler BT in a 24 inch barrel @2800fps to be about 62K psi.

Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.
