Tomk,
No problem. I think you're absolutely right... I think that added caution is needed here b/c the 7'08 is used exclusively in modern rifles while 7x57 isn't. That is the confusing factor when looking in the manuals... the start/max loads are all over the board w/ this cartridge because of the old '93s and '95s that are out there.
I had given cursory attention to numbers in one manual and was new to the cartridge. I've since learned a lot.
Thanks,
efw
