Just another reminder........as I do not want this bullet discontinued and encourage you to try it.
My our of the box, untouched Model 70 SG in 7x57 shoots cloverleaf groups when I can, using The 145gn Barnes LRX over 51gn of H 4350 and the Fed 210 for 2854fps.
There is no animal you would deliberately hunt with a 7x57 that this will not work on.

I'm curious as to how far you are from the lands.
Thanks
MIke,
I don't know because I have stopped measuring that dimension, never found it of use as I set dies for accuracy not leade, regardless of where that may be.
I can say that when I was measuring for this rifle with other Barnes TTSX bullets the leade tended to be closer to .030" rather than the often quoted .050".
Because all of my past 7x57's had different throat dimensions, that is also a reason I stopped measuring and reverted back to die setting as the determining factor. It makes the routine uniform for every rifle and the most consistent in results for me at least.
The OAL I am using for the 145 LRX is 3.121"
