being a family forum, I didn't want to ask if you hadn't been getting any...:) Been with my wife over thirty years and with any luck I can continue to escape that wee effort 'til at least june.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

30-06 is just more bigger and can throw more bigger bullets. So being American, I think it is more better. Bully!!! Bully!!!

YAY! for Dave in WV.
You know, when these sort of threads come up, I always take them tongue in cheek. Some are way too serious about a deer cartridge when common ones all do the job well.
The majority of posts in these sort of threads is that a certain cartridge is not another cartridge.
That's like saying a hot chick isn't pretty because she isn't blonde, redhead, busty blah blah blah.
She's still pretty folks, she's just not your cup of tea.

Does anyone know of a current loading manual that has 7x57 loads for modern actions? I just bought the latest Nosler manual and it has even 175 gr bullets loaded faster in the 7mm08 than the 7x57. Of course, the 7mm08 was shot with a 26” barrel (??? Normal for a 7mm08 right) and the 7x57 in a 22”. But with the 7x57 having 10% more room, I would have expected it to do better with the heavy bullets. I'll second the recommendation of Mule Deer's "Gack" book. But don't forget to look in the Reloading - Big Game forum: Campfire Pet Loads for the information on the 7x57. http://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/4019389/1
"An archer sees how far he can be from a target and still hit it, a bowhunter sees how close he can get before he shoots." It is certainly easy to use that same line of thinking with firearms. -- Unknown

Friedrich Wilhelm Viktor Albert of Prussia, aka Kaiser Wilhelm II. I've never heard anyone refer to Kaiser Wilhelm as anything but Kaiser Wilhelm. Maybe so, but our "boys over there" in France, always referred to him as "Kaiser Bill."  L.W.
