HI,
Purchased my first FN49, have lots of questions but lets start with some about 7x57 ammo and reloading, its a new caliber for me. I have some ammo with a headstamp of "FN 70". Box is marked 7mm Mauser and it apperrs to have been manufactured by FN Herstal in Belgium. Is this correct ammo for the Venezuelen FN49? Is it corrosive? Fianlly, has anyone ever reloaded this round for the FN? Please contact me @ [email protected]

Thanks in advance for any replies,

Bill
Western Mass.
