..............From my experience in some correctly spec'd 7x57's, the RCBS 7mm-168 is a tough one to beat. It is a definate bore rider, but in a modern made rifle, your barrel dimentions should be correct. If it will engrave in a Brazilian contract 98 Mauser and a Remingtom M1897 rolling block, it surely should in your rifle.

Looks to be a few in the Lyman Cast Bullit book for the 7mm Mag, just that most of the rifle loads seem to all have GC's on them, is there a reason for the GC's ? Is it not a good idea to shoot the fast high power cartridges with just a cast boolit ?
I'm a NOOB at this so please bare with me, still gaining knowlage here, Thanks guys.

I got a couple you could try if you want. I never had much luck but my gun had an over sized boar! Gun show this weekend!

thanks marks i may hit you up for a few molds then. the reason why you have a gc is becuase you are pushing these from 1600 to 2600 fps. if they didnt have one they would just melt the whole back side
