I always thought it was the perennial darling already. I've seen the .222 mentioned a bit lately and of course Ingwe has one... Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Ingwe's fav--- 222 Magnum? Elkhunternm (Ken) will know. Jerry IIRC, it's Shrap that likes the .222 Mag Poobah is a .223AI man. DF

London Dry is okay, but not Sapphire. That draws 'em like flies to honey. Sunlight filtered through the green Tanqueray bottle will cause the Zombie Pigs (ALWAYS capitalized) to melt into little puddles of bacon grease, however. Good to have that extra arrow in your quiver.

Good to have that extra arrow in your quiver. I'll make a note of it. By the way, for the guys wondering about Ingwe's move to small caliber rifles, he has a .223AI AND a .222. I believe it's a Ruger No. 1 that Derrick found for him. I also believe he may be in Texas slaying varmints with them as we speak.

I'm beginning to wish I was someplace else myself. Got 34" of snow for my birthday that gave way to days upon days of high winds. Finally, yesterday we got a couple inches of soft tracking snow, but when I loaded up to go look for canine predators, the old Exploder wouldn't crank. I was pretty disgusted at first, but shortly thereafter the sleet started and turned the roads into a skating rink. Somebody's obviously looking out for me, but I hope He lets me out for some fun pretty soon as cabin fever is setting in pretty bad.
The new season of Vikings starts Thursday, one bright spot.

If the 7x57 is the "insurgent" cartridge for 2016, what are your thoughts out there:
the various bolt actions available or a Ruger 1A? Neither; go custom Mauser and thank me later.

the various bolt actions available or a Ruger 1A? I have both. Take your pick. I too have both. A win win situation. Paul B. Brno Model 21/22 Full or Half stock. Small Ring Mausers with mag rails designed for the x57 cartridge All the rest are cheap imitations 
History May Not Repeat, But it Rhymes.

I've had mine since 2004, a M.98 sporter which has just about retired my 1981 WRA M70 Featherweight.

What fabulous ballistics, they are rifles not lasers.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

i have a riedl falling block carbine in 7x57. about the time i got that i got a box of knoch 173 full metal jacket bullets, marked for "dangerous game, and a number of boxes of 7x57 sold by montgomery wards. I have often debated about using the projectiles or the wards ammo.

1910 and 1936 Mexican M98's make great donors for the 7X57.

I think we should adopt the 6mm Remington necked up to 7mm. I like the .257 Roberts necked up to 7mm better!
