I have two,an M-77 MK II,and a #1A light sporter.
The 77 will put 3 sierra 175's into 1/2 inch if I do my part,and the #1 will put the same load into slightly over an inch.
I didn't go crazy on load development,just stuffed 44 gr. H-414,seated to factory load depth,got those results,and quit.
This load works great on our smallish Texas Whitetails,and our large tough hogs.
Jack O'Connor said he believed the reason the 7x57 kills so well is because it's so pleasant to shoot,and people practice with it more,and can shoot it better.
I agree.
A side note on the M-77 Hawkeye,
I just got one in 257 Roberts,only shot 2 factory loads so far.
Rem 117 RN,and Hornady 117 SST Light Mag's.
Puts both loads to same impact point into an 1 3/4 for 12 shots.
Most horrible trigger I've ever owned!!!
Still I think it has great potential.
