What is the love affair of trying to turn 7mm Mausers into 7 Rem Mags?
I just don't get it...
Whats the love affair with some people that want to run everything at 3/4's safe potential? I just don't get it. The OP hasn't stated a desire to go near 7mmRM velocities in the 7x57. WTF is up with that.

Yeah, add more 4350 (of either kind) until the muzzle velocity gets up around 2800 with a 140.
Ask and you shall receive on the Ask the Gunwriters Forum. What the [bleep] are we still talking about? Travis Well all the "usual suspects" have to show up and ask "why someone wants to turn a 7x57 in to a 7mmRM?" because they want more than 2500fps with a 140 bullet in a 7x57. Then all the usual comments like "would an animal know the difference?" should be made, along with the typical "in the field what's the real difference in the 'last' 100fps?" These things must be said in any thread regarding velocity.

If you hold that a modern 7x57 in good condition ought to be run at 51 KPSI, then you ought to do the same for your 270 or 30-06.
What?

Yep boys the Ruger 7x57 with 154 Hornadys that run 2650 or so from the other rifles launches them at 2400-2450. I still haven't determined if the throat was original or someone took a throating reamer to it. In no way am I trying to turn the old boy into a 7mag or even a .280 for that matter. If I get time latter today I am going to work up a little hotter and see what the CHE numbers are. reflex264
