I have a thing with them . okay ?
Among other things I have that don't really work for the new 22" 7×57 barrel at hand and my intentions are an under sized 7mm-168 RCBS , a 287-150 (Hunter ) , 284-130 and a Cramer B4 . I'm sure they will shoot fine along with the 27 cal 130s papered up . I want to use all of the twist an most of the case while being able to juice it up or slow it down . For the off season obviously I'd want to shoot a heavy sub ......in perspective a big fat wadcutteresk bullet from in the neighborhood of 210 gr is probably plenty for whitetail or 175# pigs .
I tinkered with the Mt Molds bullet design thingy and got out to a 210 gr bore ride Secant and was still over 10.5 minimum twist for 1600 fps . Handy since I have an 8.5 and 9.5 twist . A 9.5 in the 7×57 , 8.5 in the 7RWH . The bullet would be nearly 1.25 long . Off puts ..... I've heard about the 6.5 cruise missile breaking up , I don't need that with a super long bullet . I have a few 120 SP Sierras and some 154 HPBT Hornadys . Obviously I want to shoot cast for cost and fun but I also have no issues with moving on up to a paper patched bullet ........ which unfortunately the 7mm 168 will probably do in this traditional 175 RN reamed chamber .
Ok I'm ready for the suggestions letter' rip !
