Nice bar! I want one, or 6, to go with my venison. They go really well together, especially if the bar is turnt to bacon first.
Been savin my Marlin guide gun for bar huntin', but maybe I'll switch to the 7x57. Can only imagine the hole a 175 Hornady would leave in a bar. I got a box of 175 NPTs that need to be tried too. They were a personal gift to me from Nosler's grandson so I been hangin' on to them for sentimental reasons.
Our God reigns. Harrumph!!! I often use quick reply. My posts are not directed toward any specific person unless I mention them by name.
Yeah, give it up! I want to send Ingwe a pic of a nice pig that took a 140 grain C&C to the noggin.
First go to UR photo bucket acct and click 'upload'. Second, select the pic or pics, click the Mail (email) Third, enter your PB acct @upload Fourth, SEND. The only tricky part I've found is getting the eMail correct to PB upload. Other than that it's a snap. Good Luck, I'd like to see Ingwe red as a tomato. <G>
My M77R MkII is my favorite. It has Timney trigger and sear, and I floated the barrel. Has 2-7x33 glass. Perfect. My FN Mauser is right up there, but it is not as smooth as the Ruger.

Actually, I haven't had a chance to try it yet. I got home, posted those pics for Ingwe from my desktop, then got busy doing other things. This is the first time I've had a chance to look at email notifications today, the vast majority of which are from this thread!
And I'm sorry if I offended you. I wasn't ignoring you, nor did I mean any offense by not responding before now. As I said, this is the first chance I've had to actually sit down at the machine since posting Ingwe's pictures.
I'll give your directions a try. And I do appreciate them. One of the things that has been frustrating is having some of the pics taken with an iPhone come out upside down on these threads when viewed with an iPhone. I don't have any problem seeing them correctly oriented when viewing with on a desktop or laptop, but they're often flipped when viewing them on my iPhone. I don't have a clue what that's all about. Sometimes, if I save them to my desktop, spin them around, then post them they're fine. That's what I did with those pics this morning. Other times, nothing seems to work. It's maddening!

Speaking of unwashed...or washed, as the case may be...here's what happens when a 175 grain 7x57 load meets a smart-aleck wife and her washing machine.
No, "I've gone to the store; be back in a bit" or anything like that. Just one curt note that explains it all.

Apparently I jumped to the wrong conclusion BASED on your field pics posted.
Very Sorry. Water under the bridge...OKAY?
As for the inverted pics from the phone,
Photo bucket has an 'edit' feature and 'somewhere' there you can ROTATE the pics, I believe by 90 degrees till it's like you want.
Look for ARROWS indicating direction.
I have to replace my computer cause it's easier to arrange and categorize photos than on a smart phone.
I don't know of any way to post pics from P B >>> to the campfire by phone.
I have several I'd like to post but can't w /o my 'puter. I killed an OLD buck Thursday that's only a 6 point but his W T head is at least 12 1/2" long and much mass for a free range, no feeders, deer. IMO he's an old buck and weighed 165 lbs whole. (free range, no supplements or artificial minerals).
Anyway, like your pics and I would love to have access to feral or wild hogs.
You know, she's a good cook and I like to eat. I expect I'll leave it alone.

Hey, no problem. Glad I've never done that myself...
Actually I've tried PB's edit feature: sometimes it works, sometimes not. I just don't get it. I set up a test thread on the miscellaneous forum so I could test pics before posting. As I said, some work, some don't. I really ought to use a small digital camera, but the iPhone is convenient. I'll keep fiddling with it.
Pigs are fun and pretty good to eat, but man are they destructive. I don't know where you live, but if you don't have them, you don't want them...but the way they spread it's just a matter of time.
All is well.

I dont use a phone,I use a computer but had sporadic problems with Photo Bucket so on the advice of a fellow fire member changed to IMGUR which is much easier without problems. Yall might want to give it a try.

7x57... Euro Trash used to kill hundred's of thousands of Allied/American soldiers. Only "right" in a non-commercial, mid-length action.
However, it did inspire an American Yankee, Ned Roberts, to perfect it as an American 25 caliber.
The 257 Roberts is the 7x57's highest and best use.
30-06... an American original.
270 Win... an even more American original that does everything (and more) the 7x57 does.
7mm-08... the spawn of THE American original, perfect in an American modern Short Action, and essentially a ballistic twin of the Euro Trash 7x57. Better brass, available more widely, a true SA round.
Just a little fuel for the "fire"...

I'll put that memory.
I've uploaded ALL my photos from an I phone 3 or 5. I've had a few problems but not many. I've not used a digital camera nor a computer to upload pics to PB.
