Funny you should say this. My buddy who is a gunsmith and bluer told me he has had many of them come back to his shop saying they 1} can't afford to shoot those Ultrawondermags {most are not handloaders} 2} they kick so much more than expected...

But back OT: Here's a couple:

My son's first elk, years ago. Ruger Tang Safety 7x57:

Here's a spike bull elk shot with the 6.5x55. As far as I can tell, there is nil difference in killing power between the two of these cartridges. And best of all, Daryl, they are cheap to shoot!

I actually did part with my 7x57, to my nephew. But in our small assortment of shooting irons, we have four 6.5x55's and they all get used.
