WOW! Another thread proving there is life after death. This one started in 2/9/09. I wonder if AZ Southpaw ever found the sweet spot for his rifle?

Wow...forgot I even started this post, and (I type with a little tear in my eye) that beautiful 7x57 is now being drooled upon by another owner. But to answer PJGunner's question - YES! I found the sweet spot.
Seems everyone gravitates to 140's or 160's in 7mm and ignores something like the 150gr. And, those that try them all including the 150gr tend to forget Speer makes a 145gr in between all that. That's what did it for me - H4350 and the 145gr Speer Hot Cor shot the group below at 100 yards, and with a little 1-4x scope too. Runner-up to that load was the combination of W760 and the 154gr Hornady.
