MD - "O'Connor liked the 7x57 so much that late in life he used it more than the .270, mostly because it kicked less."

In JOC's book, The Complete Book of Rifles and Shotguns," Harper & Row, 1961, he recommends the 7x57 Mauser for Grizzly bears and moose, too.
Also says the best all around calibers for U.S., are .30-06, .280 Rem., .270 Win. 7x57 Mauser, and .308 Win.
I have several of his books, plus the various "Gun Digests" with his articles, and over and above all, JOC stressed bullet placement.
Sounds like a plan to me.
