Hi Benny ! I think you are right with your choice, the 7x57 is truely a great cartridge, especially for hunters that are able to get close. I shot a BIG wild boar with a 175-grain Speer Mag-Tip and the bullet smashed his spine and was found under the skin opposite the entance-hole. The boar dropped in his tracks and was finished. We don't have togher game here in Germany and lots of hunters in South Afrika will tell you that it is a good caliber for all plains game up to and including eland. Of course shot placement is what counts besides a good and heavy bullet. For those who want to shoot game at long ranges, this is not a caliber to recommend, as I said it's OK for hunters. If somebody prefers to snipe animals at ranges above 200 yards, he should use one of those "modern" magnums. Greetings Kalunga
