Tom, we've got a few 7X57's in the safe here...albeit no Ruger 77's. Both my sister and my wife run Remington 140 pointed core lokt factory loads in theirs. Its a nice milder load, chronoing about 2575 out of sis' 700 Mountain Rifle and the wife's #1. Very accurate in both and we've never recovered a bullet either. For a guy in the big woods its a good load. An Inch high at 100 gives - 1 3/4 at 200 and hardly no recoil. the Gander's here have them like 25% off right now. Lisa(wife) just picked up 3 boxes a couple days ago. I also load for mine if ya get there and need some help.
We eat organic in our house, we just have to shoot and gut it first.....
