Is it strong enough to load the 7x57 cartridge to modern rifle levels?
Thanks.

It's an old myth that small ring Mauser's aren't capable of safely handling modern factory loadings. C.I.P., the Permanent International Commission for Firearms Testing in Europe allows the 7X57 to be loaded to 56,564 psi piezo pressure and the rifles have to be proofed at 125% of this maximum pressure to certify for sale to consumers. Load it up!
