Rumor has it you have a new killing machine in 7x57....   You mean this old thing? ![[Linked Image]](http://i834.photobucket.com/albums/zz265/mlward_ssa/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-11/90A1DE29-0D67-4673-AE31-A2661BA9BB66_zpsypiulnja.jpg)

Mule Deer's recipe for long range - 400 yard - 7x57 loads (posted on the Magnificent 7x57 thread)
-----------------------------
Have done that with a couple of loads:
The Nosler 140 Tip and 50.0 grains of IMR4350. This was in a "red pad" Ruger No. 1A with the typical very long throat of older Ruger 7x57's, and would be a pretty hot load in some rifles. Muzzle velocity was around 2850 fps.
The Sierra 160 GameKing and 46.0 grains of H4350. This was in my Kilimanjaro custom rifle, which has a minimal throat, so probably wouldn't be too hot in many rifles. Muzzle velocity is right around 2700 fps.

I sighted my old Brno 21H in at 200 yds with the 139 gr Horn. SST over 45 grs of H4350 and two shots went into 1" at 200yds. ![[Linked Image]](http://i701.photobucket.com/albums/ww15/Donmartin29/GEDC0025.jpg)

Don,
What about statistical probability and the confidence value of a two shot group?

Being you mentioned it, my .223 shoots a smaller one shot group than my .45-70. Gotta be a more accurate round...

Does anyone have any data using Vectan powder? I sometimes see that around for a decent price.

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

It needed a new home where it would get a change of diet and some exercise.
