With the 7x57 cartridge, I always recommed 760/H414, because I never saw another powder exceed it for velocity or accuracy with all bullet weights from 140 to 175 grains.

45 grains would be a light load for 140 grainers and a top load for 175's from what I have experienced.

When truth is ignored, it does not change an untruth from remaining a lie.
