Good one elk.

Seven Deadly Millimeters - Ron Spomer

7mm Mauser - Smallbore Blockbuster - Ross Seyfried

The Welterweight Rifle with the Heavyweight Punch - John Jobson

Big Punch in Little Case - Jack O'Connor


Interesting how every time the 7x57 comes up the thread just runs on and on and on.

I just found an old thread that contains the Jobson article, as well as another by O'Connor. I hadn't read the Jobson article before this. I got a kick out of him just barely disguising his shot over Elmer Keith's bow. Evidently Jobson was more of a fan of Eleanor O'Connor than he was of Elmer Keith.

Good stuff!


"An archer sees how far he can be from a target and still hit it, a bowhunter sees how close he can get before he shoots." It is certainly easy to use that same line of thinking with firearms. -- Unknown
