Thank you Mr. O'Connor for shedding some personal insight. I too, became a fan of the 7x57 after reading your Dad's books and articals and it was the caliber I selected, even before the .30'06. I've never had a .270 because I never had the opportunity for long range hunting and the 7x57 fills my needs just about perfectly.
Shew me thy ways, O LORD: teach me thy paths. "there are few better cartridges on Earth than the 7 x 57mm Mauser" "the .30 Springfield is light, accurate, penetrating, and has surprising stopping power"
