About 7 or 8 years ago, I bought a stainless steel Ruger Hawkeye in 7X57mm.
I usually shoot the g/c'd Lee Soup can at 132 grs., lubed with Ben's Red and rolled in BLL, then sized to .286" with 10.5 grs. of Alliant Unique.
I ordered a Boyd's synthetic stock for the rifle, I glass bedded the action, tuned the trigger a bit and free floated the barrel.
These groups were fired at 50 yards and the groups don't enlarge much when you take it on out to 100 yards.
If you enjoy shooting cast bullets, you'd just about have to like this rifle !
