[QUOTE="cdherman, post: 2509870, member: 12282"] I load for my Tikka 6.5x55 -- same issues. Book loads are crap for a modern action. I really like Quickload for this situation. Combined with a chronograph, you can test Quickload predictions and start to really hone in on real pressures. I am pushing my modern 6.5x55 over 200 fps over book loads. And a good bit over the 6.5 Creed. Modern action. Lapua Brass. No US book will every give you loads for an old cartridge to go to 60,000 psi plus. But that's exactly how these modern scorchers get there. Your 7x57 has all the capacity or more of a 7mm-08 IIRC. You should be able to duplicate or exceed the 7mm-08 performance. Better check me on that though. Just from memory tonight, no access to my manuals. [/QUOTE]
