Dan,just loaded some IMR 7828 in the 7x57 and seated the bullets out to 3.330" and get this THEY STILL CHAMBER AND EJECT WITH NO PROBLEMS! Tomorrow I WILL WATCH the chrono very CAREFULLY! If these do not shoot well,I will go to H-4831SC. Luck with that, lookin' for a report. 3.33" makes me grin. Loaded the .300 Roy at 3.6" as I recall. Guessin' that Mouser round looks like a torpedo is hangin' out the front end? YES! There was a thread here a few days ago about running the 7 at "modern" pressure levels, don't know if you saw that. Most published data for the round peaks around 40-45 kpsi. Mild...lots of wiggle room there. My guess is that a powder a wee bit faster than RL22 will do well, if only because the case capacity is limited. Regardless, that load you already ran is a good reference and will whack most anything, here or in Africa. Well it is a .30-06 length magazine(3.340") so it's gonna be an Ingwe inspired Mauser and use 175's. Bought 200 more yesterday and now just dump powder in and shoot.

DAyum Elks, you're up early today. Just crackin' light here in the eastern swamps.
Got a buddy that is a 7 Mauser slut but he rolls with the light bullets. Never went that way myself. The 175s run .310 on SD and mid to high .4's on BC for a flat base. Energizer bunny....
I am..........disturbed.

Update right now RL-22 is the best for accuracy and velocity. IMR 7828 is second and working with H-4831SC right now,but wind picked up and will continue next weekend. All of the shooting is with a 7x57 using a 175 grain Remington PSP seated to 3.330".
Happy birthday rockchucker!
Ingwe how do you know how a 7x57 kills bear. put sarcasm face here.
