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

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?

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.

And on a related note, let's hear it for that famous German singing group, Peter, Paul and Mauser.

I don't think Ingwe is going to like you calling him ancient even though you named a day in his honor.

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!

Don't know why but for some reason I found 7:57 to be very intriguing.

Oh, and happy birthday!

Even Moses recognized the superiority of the 7:57. From the book of Numbers 7:57

“One young bullock, one ram, one lamb of the first year, for a burnt offering:” presumably with one shot.

And that was before they had Nosler Partitions!
