Never tried the Hunter, years ago I used X-Terminator in some 223, it worked quite well.
I picked up some of their Tac last year, maybe the year before to try in something, I can't remember now.

Yeah, I can get most of the Winchester and Ramshot powders nearby, so that's a plus. Just not the Hodgdon or IMR powders I used to use.
But now, I'm pretty set. That 7x57 shoots sooo good, and very little recoil. Win-win. Beer time!

Very nice, for some unknown reason I’ve always wanted a 7x57. No need for one but something about the caliber appeals to me. Maybe a nice Ruger 77. :D

I do believe you'd like that one.
