If you have to ask, you are not ready to understand. Keep it up and enlightenment will be yours.

In short, it is just so, that the 7x57 is just so much more "just so".

Trusting to having cleared up this endless enigma, I leave you to your own devices.


Ready: My comment was TIC.Yours was, too.....I assume. wink

Having had both, I think they are more alike than dissimilar,one tilting a bit toward a tad more bullet weight, the other toward a tad more velocity,and I would hunt either one....and have.Nothing I ever shot with either one would know or understand that it was killed with something a bit more, or less, "just so". smile

I trust, that you don't really believe that "just so" nonsense.....right? confused








The 280 Remington is overbore.

The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
