and you're SURE it's a 7x57?
That's great question. What Mauser is the rifle? Is the caliber stamped on the receiver?

Ok thanks for all the replies, I went to the range today and it shot well! This is the first time I have witnessed ammo changing accuracy so much. Bought this box of 175 grain Federals and first two shots were within 1/2 inch of each other, but way low and right.

After making sure the scope was not loose and all screws were tight I opened the caps and started to adjust the scope. Made elevation first and went way to far, then brought it back down and then moved left. Hit the bulls eye at 100 yards with the fifth shot, dead on!

Not the most sleek looking bullet but they sure shoot good it this rifle! Thanks again for the helpful tips.

I have a 7x57. it is a great shooter. Mine is a Ruger. I'm  hand loading with H4350 47.5 gr.  and accubond 140 gr. Killed a whitetail with it last fall.
It's a little prettier bullet than that 175. haha :chuckle:

I have a 8mm  sporterized Mauser with a 4x Jason scope with a broken reticle  that was sighted in probably 1970. It still shoots 2 inch groups. Crazy!!!!
