Azone - Good stuff, excellent results - with my last 7x57, a 1990 BRNO, I loaded up 160gr. TSX at 2,700fps. It clover leafed them, but I traded it for another CZ Hornet before I got to shoot anything with it.
Since then, I've pretty much gone with lighter bullets & if I had a 7mm today, either a 57mm or a 51mm, it would be shooting the 130gr. or 140gr. TTSX - or MRX, what ever weight is available on those bullets.

Buddy of mine who doesn't load his own needed a practice round and a hunting round for his new '06. Since it proved it didn't like 180's, we went lighter. We tried 140gr. Fed. fusions as well as the same make with the TSX - all 165's. The Fed. bullet shot into 1/2" and the TSX made nice 5/8" groups, same poi. His 224yard group ran 1 1/2", so we know he could shoot - with a rest. He proceeded to shoot his goat, sheep and elk all in the same fall with those factory TSX loads, one shot kills on everything. The elk was just over 450yards on the laser range finder - a shot I might not take, buuuuuut it was very niiiiice, hard to turn up an open shot like that. I noted your 5 point has VERY heavy beams - nice - so's the Kudu.
