Hallo benny,

here in Germany the 7x57 was a very popular calibre from the beginnin´ till the 50´s in last century. Later it loosed a lot of populary to the 7x64 Brenneke. Today, there are not many rifles orderd in 7x57. But the owners of this guns are very satisfied about them. The flanghed-version of the 7x57 is still popular here and there are many guns, drillings mostly, used in the 7x57R. ("R" means rimed case).
For games till a weight up to 200lbs. and max. shooting-distance till 200yds. it is one of the best cartrigde-choises you can do. For games till 100lbs. the buillet-weight 120-150gr. is enought. For heavier games the 150-175gr. buillets are the better choise.
With buillets arround 120-130gr. you can allso handle longrange distances till 300yds. for pronghorn or gemsbuck.
The precision is compareble with the 6,5x55 swedish or the .308Win. Walter Gehmann has shot the 300yds.-worldchampion-ship in the 1930´s and 1940´s with the 7x57.

Eland are to big for the little Mauser-cardridge, Kudu and Elk, too. For this games the 8x57 is the sensitiv minimum-calibre.

regards,
Manolito
