Aside from the lack of factory ammo, what's not to like. Super effective on the business end, super mild on the shooter end. Shoots the full range of .284 bullets effectively, including the larger ones. Efficient and effective, been around forever. It totally deserves a revival. Unfortunately it falls between the 7-08 and 280. A true classic. I love the quote from the Nosler manual "The 7X57 is the archetype for modern rounds" well stated!! Wish it was chambered in a modern rifle these days.
