This morning the local paper said sunrise was at 7:57. Let's all hoist a toast to his special day!

I think we should make this "National 7x57 Appreciation Day".
I'll have a drink to that!

2:70 is problematic...
I'm still working on a 6.8x57, however

Well,
if I lived in a more rural area, perhaps a salute with my 6.5 x 55 would suffice as I have no 7 x 57 and it is at least a metric and "ancient" cartridge.
Happy 7 x57 day everyone

I plan to have some Tumbleweed India Pale Ale later on, but since IPA was originally a British brew, should probably toast the .275 Rigby as well.

+1. I think I'll have a G&T in honor of Ingwe and the day...and in memory of Corbett and Bell, the former of which was a teetotaler (Corbett, not Ingwe) so I'll have to drink his too.

October 30th is my favourite. Now, that's a day!  And on a related note, let's hear it for that famous German singing group, Peter, Paul and Mauser.

I'll have a drink to that! Works for me! I really like my CLR/NULA in 7x57, and by the way, I DID just have a drink to that.  donsm70

Ingwe/Tom, I find that Rebecca Creek has run dry at my house.  So I lifted a wee dram of single malt to you and our favorite cartridge.

Have already "linted" my second IPA in honor of the .275 Rigby....

I was going to let that one go. I figured he'd already "linted" a few.
