.280Rem Campfire Outfitter Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 13,760 Alabama	Originally Posted by RevMike 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. _________________________ John I'm currently running 51.5gr H4350 with 139SP Hornadys in a Mod 70 Featherweight. Velocity is @2870. War Damn Eagle!
