"Say Tripledeuce, do us a favor and chronograph some of that 7x57 ammo, please."
It will be awhile before I can do that. I don't have a 7 x 57 any longer, and I'm also deployed to Southwest Asia. I'm not really sure what bullet those loads have in them. It seemed like Jack was not scrupulous about writing his load on the box. One of the boxes had kind of a mix and match of different bullets. Some looked like old-style Nosler Partitions with a groove in them, and some looked like Speers. I think I got to the store after his stuff had been somewhat picked over, and I unfortunately didn't get the best of what they undoubtedly had. I just bought it for the novelty of having been loaded by O'Connor himself, though I could never prove it and neither could the store I bought it from. I have no reason to believe it wasn't his stuff though.
