Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Who Hunts with the 7X57 Mauser??

Picked up this one on the 'fire' a while ago (sans glass). Taking it to Africa for PG late summer.





Thinking about a 1.75-5 or straight 3x.

Bought some Norma Oryx boolit tips (as they like to say in California) 156 gr. to load.

Anyone have experience with these? Norma's website has data for their 204 powder of which I have none...but think H414/H4350/IMR4350 are suitable equivalents.

They also list MRP...seem to recall the RL22 would suffice. Time to renew my sub. to loaddata.com
