Looking for advice on reloading data for my new 7x57 CZ 550 American rifle. Western Colorado deer and Elk are the game to be hunted, one load prefered. | ||

In my 7X57 I use 49 grains of AA4350 under a 160 grain Speer spitzer and a standard primer for approximatly 2700 fps. Shoots very good and will do most hunting chores. | |||

Last year I killed several head of game with a 150gr swift scirocco. This loaded behind a VERY HOT load of 49gr of H-414. This combination was very accurate and produced about 2800fps in my Ruger. This year I am going to shoot the 140gr Barnes XLC. I still feel like a trator for re-barrelling my 7X57 to 7-08, now im nothing more than a mainstream yuppy. | |||

quote:Good one!! I've re-done two 7x57's to other calibers (280 and 280AI), and, aside from nostalgia, have no complaints. If it's going in a long action, then I want long action performance. Am I the only guy who had trouble with 7x57 brass stretching relentlessly? Seemed like all I ever did was trim When I WAS loading the 7x57, I liked the 160 Speer Mag-Tip over as much H4831 as I could get in there. Didn't have a chrony then, so, can't postulate on velocity, but the accuracy was pretty good. R-WEST | |||
