7x57 factory ammo

+1 on stocking up on the EU variants--but especially since they load full bore for the 7x57, not being fearful someone will use them in an older, weaker action. Check all choices to see if you are comparing apples to apples on velocities.
 
Nosler’s ammo with 140gr Accubond shoots very well in my Nosler M48 7x57 rifle. I have not tried their E-Tip.
 
If I had a 7x57 I know I would be shooting

7x57 Mauser 150 Grain TXRG Sellier Bellot Xergy Blue Ammo​

You’ll never go wrong using Norma ammunition. The Oryx bullet performs brilliantly. Nosler Partition are also a good bet.
The Sellier&Belliot 173gr SPCE bullet is in my opinion too soft to be using on African game. I recovered one bullet this week from a deer I shot. The jacket, what was left of it, was in shreds, no core. I would not like to have used that on an oryx.
 
You have the 7mm Mauser/.275 Rigby caliber. Norma, Hornady, Sellier Belloit, and PWC all make ammo for it, and 150 grain bullet is probably the most common grain bullet loaded. I wouldn't get too hung up about the type of bullet though

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
