My primary hunting rifle is a tang safety Ruger M77 7x57 but I am not a reloader. The factory ammo I have found that it likes is the Federal 175 grain softpoints that ballistically are about the same as a .30-30. The rifle is capable of a lot more than that.
I may suck it up and take up reloading, but.... is there a factory round out there for the 7x57 that has a 175 or 173 grain bullet and is loaded to modern pressures? I would prefer a 140 for deer, but the way the gun works those do not seat right and don't group at all.
