I've always liked the 7x57, and have owned a bunch of military clunkers in the past. I've also read JOCs comments on the cartridge. Yup, I got a Ruger 7x57 for my wife too.
If JOC preferred the 7x57 with a 160 grain, over his 270, 130 grain, I'm surprised that he even noticed the difference in recoil.
The advantage of the 7x57 over the 270, if there is one, would be the 175 grain high SD bullet at a moderate velocity. Isn't that what built the 7x57s reputation for terminal performance in the first place? Maybe I'm wrong. ??? Smitty of the North
No amount of planning will ever replace Dumb Luck.
