Remington Rolling Block 7x57

[Adam Helmer]

DocHunter,

I got my M1901 7mm Remington Rolling Block in 1961 for $11.67 from Ye Olde Hunter. Jack gave you the specifics on reloading for the old rolling block. Back off your 7mm resizing die about a half, or quarter turn, resize and try in the rolling block. Resize enough until the block rolls up and the hammer will fall upon trigger pull.

I load the Lyman #287308 175 grain roundnose cast bullet in my M1901. I need to elevate to about "500" for point of aim/point of impact at 100 yards.

At the last gun show nearby, a Poor Grade M1901 was tagged at $1,100.00. I have an original "Short Tooth" bayonet for mine, so I would ask for more money, if I ever sell.

Thanks for the info. Mine has a bayonet lug. Any idea where one might find a bayonet that works? Just curious - Since 7 X 57 was already around in 1901, why the chamber difference?

This is an old thread, but the answer is the generic 7x57 was chambered to military standards in Europe as well as Central and South America. Tolerances varied. Better to be safe then sorry.
