Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles Good 7x57 Mauser loads

I guess that would depend on game. My 7x57 is a Remington 700 Classic.

I probably have shot more 139 grain Hornady Interlocks in my 7x57 that any other bullet (Whitetail deer and Pronghorn).

The second most used bullet would be the 140 grain partition (Whitetail and Mule Deer). 50.9 grains of IMR4350 with WLR primers and WW brass for both of these bullets. I have not yet switched to H4350 in the 7x57 - probably will when I burn up my last 8 pounder.

The third most used load is 48 grains of IMR4320 behind 120 grain Sierra (varmint load).

I happen to have only WW brass for the 7x57, though I'm not as picky regarding brass manufactures other shooters seem to be.
