Herman, Barnes shows 43.5 grains of Re22 (MV 2171) as a starting load, and 47.5 of Re22 (MV 2371) as a max load with this bullet in the 7X57mm using a Winchwster case of 55.55 grains water capacity with CCI 200 primers. I have used Re 22 in the 7X57mm, using the EXACT SAME LOADS I once used with Norma MRP, and get exactly the same velocities that I got with MRP. No excessive pressure signs of any kind. If you are using Norma cases, or other cases with the same, or more capacity than the 55.55 grains of water, you should be able to use the 43.5 grain starting load as a point of departure. I have not tried the 195 grain, but have found that it is NOT POSSIBLE TO GET TOO MUCH RE 22 in a 7X57 case when using 175 grain bullets. You run out of case capacity. Good luck!!

Now, that�s a heavy bullet. Sure Ray would shoot a Buff with it ... :-))

If I train I might throw a rock as speedy :-)

Have fun! Hermann

P.S.: I have a 7x57R. I am interested in loading data, too, would prefer data for VV and 172 to 175 grain RN�s.
