[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1496768, member: 10178"] The Hornady 154 interlock or the SST is a pretty good game bullet for the 7x57 and they don't cost an arm and a leg. The SST would be the best for the longer range. I have loaded these down to 2500 fps with IMR 4350 to keep them safe to use in a friends small ring Mauser 7x57 but even at this slow velocity it has really done a great job for him on a number of deer to a little over 300 yards. If you load it up to modern rifle pressures to 2800 to 2900 fps out to 600 yards would be no trouble. I used these in 7mm Rem mag at over 3000 fps for deer and my buddy killed a pretty good elk with the 154 Interlock out of his 7mm Rem mag right at 400 yards. One shot to the bowler room and it stumbled about 3 steps and dropped dead. Bullet took off top of the heart got both lungs and exited. [/QUOTE]
