The MAGIC recipe:

Norma unfired brass,
Remington 9 1/2 primers
(I tried Remington 9 1/2 and Federal 210 primers and in my rifle the 9 1/2's gave better accuracy.)
OAL 3.070"
40 grains of 2208/Varget
Sierra 140 SptBt's.
Average Velocity 2,499 fps

Thats a very light load for the 7x57. Did you look for a node higher up or were you specifically looking in the lower pressure range. Not sure where or when you are going to chase the Reds but if you get onto a big one who is coming into his winter coat with a soaking wet hide (and maybe a bit of mud)from the rain I would want a bit more steam.
The 160gn Woodleigh PP is a good bullet and over 46gn h4350 (2209) gets 2700fps in my own 7x57 and a margin for some of the maybe's of a hunt.

Yeah need some pic's
