7X57

The 7x57 Mauser has been around for 132 years. There should be thousands of loads available through every powder and bullet manufacturer worldwide.

The 7x57 was designed during 1892 by Paul Mauser of Germany, based on the 8x57 cartridge case necked down to 7mm. The new cartridge was created in conjunction with a new rifle design and in 1893 the Model 93 Mauser rifle chambered in 7x57 was introduced as a potential infantry weapon.

The original 7x57 military load featured a 175 grain round nose bullet at a velocity of 2300fps. True bullet diameter for the 7mm was and is 7.2mm or (.284"). The M93 rifle chambered in 7x57 was mild to shoot, accurate and although the load featured a round nose projectile, it produced vastly superior aerodynamic performance in comparison to other cartridge designs of the day. Later, a 154 grain Spitzer bullet was developed which gave a velocity of 2900fps (29" barrel).

THANK YOU
 
Every bullet and powder manufacturer has load data for the 7X57 Mauser.

I'm using RL17 with the 120gr NBT for my daughter's Mauser.

But if you don't already have a good supply of Alliant, I'd be looking at Vihtavouri powders.

I still have 7lbs of RL17.
Use it in the daughter's Mauser, my 25WSSM, 250 Savage, 7mm-08AI.

Ramshot may do good also. Big Game for lighter bullets and Hunter for heavier.

I just know trying to get hold of Alliant powders is almost strictly a private individual selling.

Last place I saw 2 bottles of RL17 for sale, they wanted $95 each.
