Quick load 7x57 please

[kingdavid350]

I’ve been reading other posts and curious if some one can make a quick load chart showing 120gr ttsx, 140 gr etip and 140gr AB up to 64,000psi. My rifle is a model 70 FTW 22” barrel. I do not have a specific powder in mind, I’ll have to purchase whichever powder seems best for these loads. Thank you

Welcome aboard. I have been loading 49.5 grains of reloading 17, gets me right at 60psi I’m getting 2925 with the 140 accubonds and Ballistic tips. Don’t recall what speed I got with the 140ttsx, but I’m sure with a 120 at that pressure she will be screaming.

Thank you for the reply. That seems like a great place to land. I’ll load below and work up to there.

I get 2800 FPS with the 140 gr. Ballistic tip ususing W760. For some reason I seem to have a fast lot of that powder.

I settled on 47.5 gr. RL17, 150 gr. Nosler Partition, Remington brass match prepped and Winchester WLR primer. Velocity 2850 FPS. I did work up to 2880 FPS but it was a hot day (110*in the shade) bolt lift felt a tad sticky.

Groups were all sub MOA and my rifle was a 1980's Winchester M70 Featherweight.

Thank you for the info. I’m in South Louisiana so we have hot days as well and something for me to consider while developing a load. My rifle is a 1982 xtr ftw it’s still in the box currently and hasn’t been fired since it left the factory. I’m actually going back and forth on actually using it, but the xtr rifles don’t fetch too much for collectors.

Go ahead use and enjoy it. You'll be glad you did.
