I ordered a SHOT show special M70 Featherweight in 7x57 Mauser. Went looking all over the internet for brass and couldn't find ANY. I gave away my once-fired stuff to a friend. I went to an obscure hole-in-the wall store and found 3 bags of Winchester 7x57 brass, 50 count. $30 a bag. Bought all of it. Crazy. I can't find 7mm-08 brass to save my life.

Dude you scored. Winchester brass is great and now they only make limited runs of it. I bought 100 bulk cases a long time ago and still have some left . I bought the same rifle as you a few years after they came out in the 80's. I've been shooting a 7x57 since 1976. Killed lots of deer with it, 2 caribou , and a WA mt goat and black bear. Its a great caliber, Enjoy.

Thanks. I had a Ruger 1A in 7x57, a pre-warning model, and I could never get it to shoot. I tried bedding the fore-end, replacing the quarter-rib, all sorts of stuff. Shot so poorly that I took the scope off and just used the open sights. Could be any worse.
Hope this featherweight turns out better :).
