[QUOTE="Hunter 257W, post: 4380786, member: 12277"] Looks like a rifle that I would really enjoy fooling with. I'd go with whichever brand of brass I could find a few hundred of 1st. Same with bullets. At the velocities that the 7x57 operates at, premium bullets are not needed at all anyhow. I'm assuming you are already aware that the small ring Mauser actions can't handle the same pressures that a 98 can and as such there is load data that mi9ght be pushing it for that rifle. The fact that you mention it is a 93 or 95 Mauser indicates you already know that though. :) I have a real rough 98 in 270 with, I think, a Adams & Bennett barrel that I bought as a barreled action and scrounged up all the other pieces over time going as cheap as possible. It shoots nice small 3 shot groups but they open up once the barrel gets hot. Perfect for a hunting rifle. I love seeing what you can do with very little. The 7x57 cartridge is one of the greats for sure. It has enough power yet is real mild to shoot. [/QUOTE]
