What a beautiful rifle, Ron. The best loads I found for my 7x57 bolt action rifle used the 139 gr and the 154 grain Hornady Interlock SP bullets. I loaded them to just under the max loads listed in the 1976 Hornady manual. Three shot groups at 100 yards could be covered with a Kennedy half dollar. Best wishes for a great African hunt.

@@mikga45I agree with you on the point that the groups did seem disappointing. However, considering the relatively uncommon chambering the options for bullet selection are limited. Normally each of these rifles are tested by the manufacturer to ensure accuracy in a certain loading. Parkwest usually sends a target with the rifle showing how it shot. Considering the speciality of this rifle, and who it was going to, it may have not been extensively tested shooting wise per request. Ron may have to load his own hand-loads of the various bullet types to find something it truly likes. Factory ammo options and availability are certainly limited for his rifle. My point being that these rifles are very capable but I understand your point. Mine shoots a Barnes TSX between 1/3” to 1/2” with calm conditions.

I had one of the ruger Africans in 275 rigby (7x57). I believe they only produced 250 of those in a special run, maybe for lipsey but not sure. That thing shot patterns with the anemic factory loads, but shot great with handloads, especially the 160 and 175 grain loads I had worked up.

What a beautiful gun! I took a Ruger A-1 in 7x57 to Africa in 1995. We shot Kudu, wildebeest, waterbuck, blesbuck, and impala. None traveled more then a few yards. I was afraid that the professional hunter would think I was undergunned but on arrival he was carrying a 7x57 Mauser as a back up! We used 160gr Nosler PT at 2700fps. If you have a modern rifle and handload you should be able to reach a velocity of 2650fpos with RL19, RL 22, Hunter 4350. I just sent that Rifle back to Ruger to have it re-stocked and re-barreled. I will not be as beautiful as your single shot BUT I will be very proud of it!

Falling block rifles are awesome and very traditional in Africa. We’ve all seen the pic of Selous with his farq. Mounting a big scope really hinders loading however and the don’t have a lot of bedding surface but as long as folks are aware of the limitations, (like how a scope not only gets in the way of loading, they also make them carry the same as a bolt and you loose that slim small one handed grip that is so easy to carry) they are definitely cool 👍🏼

I went hunting in the Czech Republic in the 90s with a Ruger No. 1 with Mannlicher stock and 20" barrel and caliber 7x57mm. I shot a roe buck there at 180 m. 7x57 is a good hunting cartridge. I also had a pre-war Mauser in 7x57 (1937) and an FN Mauser in 9.3x62 caliber. I am a German from Franconia and now live in Thailand.

Great little rifle there Ron.What I like about the Model 10 is that it's a trim little rifle.I had a Ruger No.1B in 300 Win. Mag and I loved that rifle,but it was a heavy rifle which wasn't so bad considering the chambering.The Mod.10 though is much more trim and lends itself to the smaller calibers very well.Enjoyed the video and can't wait to see your journey with it.

Nice shooting from the sitting position! BTW, if that rife has a standard 7x57 throat/leade, you'll probably find the 160-grain (i.e., longer) bullets shoot better since they'll keep the principal axis tilt to a minimum. Every one of my 7x57s shoot cup and core 156-175 grain bullets better than the lighter/shorter ones. I'm planning to load the Barnes 145-gr LRX to see if, since they're longer, they will give the same accuracy as the longer/heavier cup and cores. Something tells me they just might. As you know, the 7x57 is generally a handloader's cartridge, so have fun developing the load it likes. Great video, as always.

I shoot one of the first 50 rifles manufactured by Ruger in 7x57 with two great loads . One being the 142 all copper Nosler bullet and the other the 150 Barnes . Both loads shoot pretty much the same in the .5”-.6” area. This rifle has. Been to Africa as well but with my Mother doing the workout with her! Great caliber isn’t the fastest 7mm out there but how it just drops the game in its tracks! My first loads I ever used were with a 139 grain bullet made for Browning very very accurate but never knew who the manufacturer was?

Beautiful rifle, and I think the best cartridge for this gun. I own a NO. 1 in 7x57 and just absolutely love it. However from an aesthetic perspective I would have put the smaller scope on it. I did see that you have it mounted as far back as you can and the 3.5x10x42 does have a longer eye relief so maybe you couldn’t get proper eye relief with the smaller scope. I have loaded for (3) 7x57 and (2) 7MM-08’s and they all loved RL-17 with 140gr TTSX’s

Most of those commercial 7x57 loads are lower pressure as there are still some 19th Century rifles still in use, including the Remington rolling block. You should be able to upload your handloads a bit. If Parkwest makes that action in modern cartridge or magnums, it should be able to outdo the 7mm-08 in velocity. I am considering having a Rem 700 rebarreled to 7x57. Good luck on your safari.

I'm somewhat surprised that such a fine rifle had not been regulated with a specific load at the factory. I have a Ruger No.1A in 7X57 that is very finicky. I tried all the usual modifications to the fore end but it still wants to spread shots all over. I also have a fine custom Mauser in 7x57 that gives me great groups with almost any factory ammo. I will be very interested when you try some handloads. Good Luck

I had a 7x57 once well mine was marked 275 Rigby instead, but it’s the same cartridge. Factory loads just don’t do the cartridge justice, in America the factory still downloads the crap out of it. Hand loading is where it’s at with this grand old cartridge. Easily surpasses any 7mm08. You just have to use common sense and work up loads looking for pressure signs. It has more capacity, so easily more performance. Seems a lot of loading manuals also under load this cartridge I’m guessing it’s due to some older rifles maybe small ring mauser i suppose. Large ring 98 mauser handle it in spades though. But Ron that is a beautiful rifle!!!

@@mtkoslowski beautiful rifle granted. 3 brands of ammo and still not accurate. He's getting 30-30 lever action groups in a high end rifle. Sorry but it's worth a try to try some hand loads and a different scope. If still not good use it as a wall hanger or sell it. I use to belong to a gun club where we had 400 yard egg shoots and not easy to hit and egg at 400 yards. I mess with OAL the different seat depths of bullets, different powders and and little change effects the shot. The chamber on the rifle, barrel could be off. For a high end rifle I would want better even with factory ammo than 2" groups that is terrible. I would rather have a ugly rifle that could shoot them a pretty rifle that could not. Send the rifle back and tell them to make it right. You were shooting the savage in another vid with 3 shot groups and all your groups were good. No wild flyers on 3rd shot. You were talking some times while. Shooting which would not be control breathing. I like to hold my breath when I squeeze the trigger so I don't have any irregular movements caused by breathing and talking. On 65 and have been shooting a long time. It annoys me when you make a shot when you are talking, you are old enough to know better.

@@mtkoslowski That may simply be a typo, but a Ruger No. 1 isn't a Mauser action, it's a falling block.

As it is the case with a Ruger No. 1 in .308 that I have, the first round ends up being the farthest of the group, which consists of two other distant shots generally close together. I cannot explain why. It being a one-shot rifle, it has to be zeroed on the first shot, not on the center of the group. If you fire more than three shots, the following shots will tend to creep back to the first shot. There is a long explanation for it and it can be alleviated by modifying the metal forestock arm.

Same with my #1 22-250, shoots like a shotgun and I got tired of wasting powder trying to find anything it likes. Fortunately it was handed down to me n I didn't buy it. You would think with an expensive custom they would have taken care of that.

the only draw back I can see is the lack of positive extraction. so, you could bump up handloads to higher pressures as you might with a bolt. Thats ok cuz its a classic rifle with classic cartridge. you dont want to mess with that vibe!
