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

First sambar I shot was with a 7x57R, 175gr interlock. Shot 4. Lost a nice stag. I don't rate it as a reliable stopper with chest shots. Fallow, pigs and goats it's fine. The hole is really small and not much if any blood trail.
This. Red deer is about the upper limit for reliable use of the 7x57. Yes you can get away with it on larger game, but not consistantly.
