Zimbabwe has said what I think and have experimented with te 7x57 during the last 40 years. First of all te 7x57 Is al cartridge ideally suited for a standard lenght M98 Mauser action. And a round for handloaders. Period. For me, a 7x57 MUST be made with an European CIP standard made barrel: 8,7 rifling twist and that throat. It allows to shoot great with ANY 140 to 177 grs bullet weight. And is good for ANY big game to the size of the biggest species of deer or ant�lope. Period!
