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

PS, true loonyism would seem to dictate that every year when the sun rises at 07:57 we should all run to the computer or LGS and purchase a new rifle, or at a minimum, 7mm reloading components, no?

+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.

I think we should make this "National 7x57 Appreciation Day".
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.

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.

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

I don't think Ingwe is going to like you calling him ancient even though you named a day in his honor.
He who joyfully marches in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would suffice.
A glass of the Irish whiskey raised in salutations to the mighty Ingwe and his 7:57....

Yep its a good day, my current and only 7 x 57 has been in my care since I bought it in 1975- I may take that one to my grave! And as a side note- I been here now for 15 years! How time flies by! I still shoot the same load I shot back in 75 too, 50 gr of IMR-4350 in a Winchester Western Case, Federal 210 primer and a 140 gr Nosler Partition! Except for the time when Partitions were hard to come by , I just shot the Swift A Frame version!

I'm sure you lifted that glass at exactly 7:57 PM. Right? Paul B.

Does 3:10 this afternoon count? With the Ingwe Special, no less?

Good point. She wasn't going anyplace other than the freezer.
