Long pills for the 7x57...
      08/08/07 03:21 AM

Hello Gent's,

Going to try out a few different bullets in my 7x57, both 160's and 175's and was looking for some suggestions as to what are some good choices. I was thinking of both weights in Swift's A-Frame and Woodleigh protected points. In looking at ballistics charts a 160 will be within an inch or two of a 140 out to 300yds (which is further than I shoot anyway), so there doesn't seem to be much sense in moving down in weight.

I know the construction of the two bullets are quite different. Would there be much difference in performance at non-magnum velocities?

Any other bullets I should be considering?

Use would be: 160's "all arounder" for deer, pronghorn, caribou
175's elk, black bear

Gun is Ruger No. 1 RSI w/ Leo 1.5-5 VX-III

Thanks for any suggestions!

Best regards,

benny
