JOC was also a fan of the 7x57 for elk - particularly of a load producing about 2650 fps with a 160gr bullet - saying it was an overlooked gem for those looking for a soft kicking, very effective elk killer.
Pretty much reflects today's success with the 7mm-08 in 140gr and 160gr bullets - another "got it right" for JOC!
