I have to second what the members are saying about the 7x57. It has its own magic that can't be reduced to numbers. I've been through 3 of them and settled with my CZ FS. It is fun to carry and shoot and every kill has been clean. And it has a little class. Mine has been easy to reload for as well. It loves 4350 behind 139 Hornadys. I have a couple of new loads with H414 that I hope to try Friday if it's not pouring down rain.
