Need advice on max loads for 7 x 57 Mauser, 140 gr loads

[willienels]

I am looking for ideas on max loads for strong, modern rifles, such as a Ruger #1 in 7 x 57 Mauser using primarily Nosler 140 gr Accubond, or equivalent, bullets for deer/black bear hunting. I may also decide to use 150 or 160 gr. I want to approach the limits for this rifle/cartridge combination.

Rem 700 Mnt rifle in 7mm Mauser; 51 gr H4350, 140 gr Ballistic tip, ~2800 fps w. 22" barrel. No pressure signs.

Load was out of Hodgden manual #24, special section on 7mm Mauser in modern actions.

Ive got some 175 gr loads that are MUCH stiffer.

John, what's your primer and COAL for that load?

Bwana John,
Thanks for the data. Can you tell me about your 175 gr loads?
