Hornady Light Magnum

[Mike Webb]

Anybody have any experience with Hornady Light Magnum ammo.
I run a 7x57 Husky and would like to boost performance a little.
Also who sells this stuff in Canada?
It's available in N.B. but can't find 7x57 and they won't bring it in even
if I prepay for it.
Thanks

Great stuff. Good velocities in the underappreciated calibers. Some of the dealers at the top of the page should carry it.

Like any ammo it works well in some rifles and not well in others. In my Ruger No. 1 it shot well--in my custom Win M-70 it did not shoot well. Only way to know is to try it.

fwiw, 44Bore

Good stuff, turns a '06 into a 300 win mag

Blue Mountian Sports in Brown's Flats(I think) is the hornady rep in NB

It doesn't shoot as well in my BRNO 600 30-06 as other factory ammo.

Good stuff, turns a '06 into a 300 win mag

So, it works at the advertised velocities?

I have not only shot it over a Chrony (velocity gain is real) but I also had soem tested by a lab. pressures were not high. Good stuff.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll give it a try.
My 7x57 is a Husqvarna lightweight and only has a 20.5 inch barrel.
Just wondering if the velocity gain will equal the increase in loud.
