need great load for 7x57 remy

[derrickman]

I've been using Berger 168 gr VLDs with RL15 & BR2 primers.
Best results thus far.

In my experience, modern factory USA 7x57's and reamers have a shorter throat than euro chambered 7x57's so yes, stick to 140 weight projectiles.

Around 43 grains of H4350 will work. Try half grain increments up and down on either side for an accurate load, then adjust seating depth.

Try the 140 Barnes off the lands for plains game size animals or the 140 Sierra for deer and smaller.

Many of the heavier bullets with a very high BC such as Berger & some Hornadys & Sierras are very sleek in design with the same bearing surface of a much lighter bullet & offer better down range exterior ballistics as well as terminal performance than their lighter weight counterparts. That's been my experience anyway.

That was either a couple of weeks ago, or there's a wait time of almost a year on the dies. ( I'll assume you meant March.)

I've had good luck with Nosler and Speer data for 7x57. Neither of my 7x57s are what would be considered long-range rifles, but I've had good luck with 120 gr NBTs. I use the 110 gr Speer TNTs for coyotes among other things and 130 gr Hot Cor for general plinking.
