Sitting in the mountains of Pa in the pouring rain. My range is closed for renovations and I have 4 rifles I have yet to fire a round through. A AV-.270, L61R-.30-06, a Rem VLS-6MM and a Browning 78 in 7X57.
I have handloads ready to try for all but the 7X57. I posted on the handload section of the forum for advise in loading for the 7X57 since I have never owned a gun in this caliber.But no one bit. It appears to be slightly less gun then the .270 and about the equal of the 7MM-08 and the .280. This would have me believe that the 140 and 150 gr. bullet weights would be the place to start. If anyone has experience with this round your advise would be appreciated.
I was on the SAKO website under old models and it would appear that SAKO did not chamber in this caliber . Can this be correct, asI have always read that it is one of the premier european calibers ??
