I have two 7x57 rifles. A new to me Remington Mountain rifle and a custom built by my grandfather. The rifle built by my GF is built on a Mauser 98 G33/40 action with either a Douglas or P.O. Ackly barrel. No one is left alive that knows for sure.
I have killed most of my deer with that rifle. Lately I have used a 7-08 for my hunting. It works well but I feel the 7x57 still has a slight edge with heavier bullets with its larger case capacity. But that's just me.
Now we just need to talk about that other great round, the 8x57 Mauser. I also have one of those built by my grandfather.
