I think a good place to start would be RL-19. I shoot 162 grain Hornady's at 2650 from a 20.5 inch Standard 7X57, using 54 grains. I see know preasure signs and thats about all the powder i can cram into the case.
Un less you have a real deep throat in your rifle i would back off to about 51 for starting point ! ...tj3006

its a 162 grain Hornady interlock. Thats a hunting bullet. If i had a 2 inch barrel I think I would get 2800. And I would not be the least bit suprised to see you get 2900 froman AI 24 inch barrel. Another powder I have used with sucsess is H-414...tj3006
