Something Jack do not mention in the article, was that the Boer's used 7x57 Mausers in the Anglo Boer War from 1899 to 1902 in South Africa! It is mentioned in a lot of books and articles about the amazing accuracy and long shots that those Boer's take with their 7x57 Mausers! The English was totally caught off guard by the long range ability of the 7x57! Shots at 1000m was not unheard of! All of the Boer's was crack shots and know their rifles and the trajectory. But to come to the point... I agree with Jack, that most game in Africa and most of the world is hunted under 200m! Being in Africa my whole life and hunted all kinds of African game, I can attest to that! The 7x57 is a very popular caliber in SA and is used on all sorts of game. I have 2 rifles in 7x57. A Mannlicher and a Brno 21. I have used them on all types of game, with the same results as Jack mentioned. I have even shot big eland with 175gr bullets at around 2450f.s. The question I always ask.... when is hunting going over into long range target shooting?
