Re: Where does the 7x57 Mauser stand as a sambar cartridge?

I always hark back to Jack O'Connors wife on safari in Africa where she took 17 head of plains game with 19 shots, the 2 extras were put into a big heart shot Kudu bull to prevent it running too far. The other 16 animals were one shot kills mostly all dropping to the shot. His wife used a 7x57 with Sierra 160gr bullets at 2700fps. What more do you need.
Yes, I remember that story - Elinor is/was her name? My memory is shaky on that. She was a MUCH better shot than Jack.
