Some loads just seem to kill especially well and that's what I've heard from others about the 7X57. I have a Ruger .270 that for some reason is slow even with a slightly over max load of 7828. It shoots the outdated 150 Win. power point at around 2750fps but seems unusually deadly on large hogs. The proof of the pudding is in the eating. As to the 7X57 on elk, well the .243 W is used on elk.
