Jack O'Connor once wrote that the 7x57 is useful on North American big game from javelina to moose.( Do not remember him writing about using a 7x57 on moose, but he did on javelina, and maybe Eleanor shot a moose with one.) That's exactly the range of North American big game I've taken with the 7x57, and in Africa a bunch of "plains game" from springbok and impala to kudu and wildebeest. Don't know if any of them felt they died with more panache, but they all died pretty quickly.
