There’s got to be a formula that explains the visual quality of a bullet to case length ratio.
These are dimensionally similar to my 220gr 30’06 loads or 160gr. 6.5 Dutch loadings.
They just look right!

Yeah I agree, the 175 in the 7x57 are just about right! Can't explain it either, but long bullets are awesome!

Once I had a .300 Winchester Magnum that really liked 240 grain SMK's, it would shoot them into groups not bigger than the nail of my thumb but with a velocity of 2650fps. Crazy rifle, with those long bullets it was a spear thrower! Loved loading those on my press.
