This ought be very nice. Heck, the drive in that country is worth it. Can't wait.
Site seems to be OK. Load issue should be resolved now.

Re: Idaho/Montana trip
That 7x57 is a really nice caliber to hand load. Depending on the rifle it can reach some
high velocities. A good deer round.

You bet. It'a semi customized 1895 Chilean Mauser; newer stock, barrel cut to 23", bolt tuned down, D & T for scope and a Timney trigger.cooperhawk wrote: ↑Thu Jul 29, 2021 11:45 amThat 7x57 is a really nice caliber to hand load. Depending on the rifle it can reach some

Load is 41.0-42.0gr IMR4064 with a 139gr Hornady FB Interlock. 2750-2775 over the screens. Accurate as heck.

Re: Idaho/Montana trip
Mine is a Ruger No 1 Light Sporter. I have a Leupold 4x10 mounted on it and I've taken numerous turkey
and deer with it over the years. It's small and compact but has a solid hit.
I know, only a single shot but I've learned through the years to make the first shot count.

Re: Idaho/Montana trip
Have a Ruger No.1B here in 30-06 with a Leupold 3-9x40 on it. It was my Elk rifle. Love that rifle. Heavy, but, I forgive it cuz its accurate. Nothing wrong with a single shot.cooperhawk wrote: ↑Thu Jul 29, 2021 2:25 pmMine is a Ruger No 1 Light Sporter. I have a Leupold 4x10 mounted on it and I've taken numerous turkey
