This bullet has been developed for a higher ballistic co-efficient in mind resulting in better retained velocity and energy over a longer distance. This bullet will also have less wind drift at extended ranges compared to the Virtus Eagle line of bullets. Compared to the same weight class of other well-known projectile manufactures, it is second to none with far better terminal performance due to the unique design. It has been created to engage live quarry at extended ethical distances within the prescribed impact velocities. Most lead projectiles will have good terminal performance at 1800fps impact velocity and higher. Some of the premium lead projectile will perform from even 1600fps impact velocities but have the current issue of contaminating the carcass of any live quarry with lead. Tests for terminal performance have shown that the Virtus Merlin projectile will still preform exceptionally well at impact velocities as low as 1500 feet per second making it very attractive as a non-lead alternative.

Load data for ammunition in caliber5.6 x 57with all popular powders and suitable bullets, as well as ballistic statistics and technical specifications. 5.6 x 57 Load Data Alternative names: 5.6 x 57mm, 5.6x57mm RWS, 5.6x57mm Mauser Our load data for caliber 5.6 x 57 covers 286 bullets from 30 manufacturers and a total of 18018 load recipes. In addition, our members have shared 4 load recipes. Load Data Community Loads The 5.6x57mm cartridge, developed in Germany, has an intriguing history that roots back to the mid-20th century when there was growing demand for high-velocity, small-caliber cartridges for medium game hunting. German manufacturers, particularly RWS (Rheinisch-Westfälische Sprengstoff-Fabriken), spearheaded the development as an answer to hunters seeking a flat-shooting round with improved accuracy and manageable recoil compared to larger calibers. This cartridge reflects a philosophy prevalent in postwar Europe, where precision and efficiency often took precedence over sheer bullet diameter. While it never achieved mass popularity outside Germany and Austria, the 5.6x57mm carved out a loyal following among specialized hunters and reloaders fascinated by its niche capabilities. The primary application of the 5.6x57mm is hunting, particularly targeting medium-sized European game. Its high-velocity, bottlenecked design gives it reliable reach and stopping power suitable for species such as roe deer, fox, chamois, and marmot. In European hunting circles, this cartridge is favored for areas where legislations demand a minimum caliber or energy but do not require larger rounds commonly used for heavier game. Its superior ballistic trajectory and low recoil make it especially prized among stalkers who need to shoot accurately over variable terrain and distances, allowing for humane one-shot kills at respectable ranges. The precision and potential repeatability have also made it appealing to marksmanship enthusiasts interested in long-range target shooting within its ballistic parameters. The 5.6x57mm cartridge is particularly effective for species in the 15–40 kg weight class, making it ideal for roe deer but capable of ethically taking down other medium-sized animals with proper bullet placement. Because of its high velocity and light weight, it is generally not recommended, nor legal in many places, for much larger game such as wild boar or red deer. For reloaders, this caliber provides a rewarding challenge: maximizing its performance often revolves around matching the right bullet type and weight to the specific animal and terrain involved, as well as adapting to the sometimes limited availability of commercial ammunition or brass. Its use remains fairly specialized, so those who invest the time in reloading often enjoy a high degree of customization toward their actual hunting environment and species preference. Typical bullet weights for the 5.6x57mm cartridge range between 74 and 77 grains (4.8–5 grams), optimized for a high muzzle velocity—often cited in the range of 3,300 to 3,600 feet per second, depending on load and barrel length. Bullet diameter is standardized at .224 inch (5.7 mm), and the overall cartridge length is just over 69 mm. The case design, with its long neck and slight body taper, accommodates a range of bullet profiles and ensures reliable feeding in bolt-action rifles, which are the most common platforms for this round. Characteristics of 5.6x57mm ammunition—such as its flat trajectory, moderate recoil, and excellent accuracy—make it attractive to precision shooters and reloaders who appreciate the technical nuances of less mainstream calibers. While factory brass and bullets can be less plentiful than for more popular cartridges, dedicated handloaders recognize the excellent terminal performance and ballistic efficiency this round offers when correctly tailored to its intended use.

Sight Height: Line of sight above the center of the barrel muzzle. Temperature: Assumed temperature for trajectory calculation. Lower tempertures result in higher air density and a slightly larger drag and vice versa. Humidity: Assumed humidity for trajectory calculation. Higher humidity result in more water particles and a slightly larger drag and vice versa. Altitude: Assued altitude for trajectory calculation. Higher altitude results in lower air density and a slightly lower drag and vice versa. OZD: Optimum Zeroing Distance or Most Favorable Zero Range refers to the distance at which a rifle is sighted in so that the bullet's trajectory remains within a defined vertical margin — typically ±4 cm / ±1.75 '' — from the line of sight over a certain range. This means: The shooter can aim directly at the target up to the GEE without adjusting the scope or holdover. Within this range, the bullet stays inside the vital zone (for example, a deer’s kill zone, approximately 8 cm / 3.5'' high). OZD Max Height: Distance at which the max. OZD height is reached and max. OZD height OZD LoS Crossing1: Distance at which the bullet crosses the line of sight the first time OZD LoS Crossing2 (OZD): Distance at which the bullet crosses the line of sight the second time. Typically referred to as OZD OZD Max Distance (OZD): Distance at which the bullet is more than the OZD height below the line of sight
