Nice to see you did your homework on loads. I am sure you will find a combo that works. For many yrs I hunted with a custom Mauser in 7x57 with an 18 1/2 inch barrel made by an immegrant Danish gunsmith. Gold and silver inlays. It was a joy in the heavy woods here in northern New England. Good looking rig you made and after a few trips to the woods you will be happy.
