PJGunner":3i0kjh4u said:The 7x57 needs no improvement other than being loading to proper modern pressure levels. In modern rifle that come chambered to the .270 Win., the same rifles in 7x57 loaded to .270 Win. pressure levels would be just fine.
One of the big problems preventing proper load levels is not just the older 93 and 95 Mausers but modern gunsmiths have chambered the rifles with various different throat lengths. What may work in a Winchester M70 may be way over pressure in a Remington M70 or Ruger &&. Even custom gun have throats even more disparate throat lengths than the commercial guns.
Prime examples, My M70 FWT and Ruger #1 can use the same top level loads without a problem but loads have to be cut back quite a bit for the custom Mauser I have. As a matter of fact, even the rather mild Winchester 145 gr. Power Points show slight signs of high pressure and higher velocity than the same ammo in the other two rifles. Load work up for the Mauser is an ongoing project at this time that is on hold due to my wife's illness.

That's a hitter. Have you taken any animals with it?

Going to wait and see what loads all my available bullets prefer "before" I start stocking ( not hoarding! ) up. I did receive a box of Norma 156gr ammo from Cabela's yesterday ( ordered them "before" I found a place $10 cheaper!) and they look "smashing".
