Winchester Super X in M95 Mauser

[killertom]

Hi Everyone,

I'm looking for a little safety advise. Long story short, I have a 7x57mm Model 1895 Chilean short rifle that I usually shoot with mild handloads in the 2000 ft/lbs range.

I ran out of empty cases so I bought a box of Winchester Super X powerpoints. Reading the ballistics table this round produces ~2290 ft/lbs.

Being roughly 10% above my usual load I was wondering if this would be safe to shoot or I should break down the cartridges and just reuse the primed cases and bullets?

Any advice would be highly appreciated!

Tom

That ammunition is loaded to SAAMI specs, so assuming your rifle is in shootable condition, that factory ammo should be fine.
