[QUOTE="RevJim, post: 1316955, member: 86754"] Hey HANDLDR- I just picked up a Mod 700 Classic in 7x57 (its getting tweaked at the gunsmiths now) ...I'll be trying some 140ABs, just wondering what your load is? I have Norma and RWS brass. I've read where I can use 7mm-08 data in a mod 700 7x57. I had a little Kimber 84M for years in 7mm08, but never got it to shoot very well with anything as well as the older 139 SST Light Mag so just used them for deer. I'm not a long range hunter ( 375 has been my record on several animals with different rounds in the past 20yrs or so) but like bullets/loads that will work on angling shots for elk in timber ( and big hogs) that SST never gave me an exit hole in deer at 200, though deadly. If I still lived in East Texas it would be a great one on those small deer. Thanks. ( and Congrats to your daughter!) [/QUOTE]
