You can never go wrong with the great 7x57. 100 plus years of exceptance and aproval (in the face of numerous other "beter"rounds over the years, many of which are now obselete) by the worlds best hunters says that this cartridge, (even at the soft factory loads and who uses those anyway) is better than most for mice to moose, and a heck of a lot besides. You handle history and walk in big footsteps when you carry a 7x57 afield. As Daryl said the 140gn bullet has plenty of reach and the 160 has authority. There are very good reasons for its continued existence and it will still be with us as long as there are hunters among us.
