[QUOTE="DragonsBane, post: 337896, member: 21824"] Tom, I'm not building a high dollar rig here, just something to hunt with. I kinda just answered my own question with what I found on the .284 you suggested. I looked into the .284 and found that it is a real bear to get them to feed right in the mauser action. Can be done, just not for me right now. I found out that the F-class guys are pushing the 180 Gr VLD at and over 2950 FPS using Reloader 17. So according to what they are using 48.5 grains of Reloader 17 should put me right around 2700. The 7 x 57 AI case is a little larger than the .284 so it should be no problem. ANd being that the 7 x 57 is a long action, it shouldn't bve a problem seating the bullet out. With the extra room in the case 2900 to 3000 might be possible. Time will tell. [/QUOTE]
