Thread: School me on the 7x57 mauser

Years ago I picked up this 7x57 (top rifle in pic) and have done a few mods on it. It has not failed to knock over any deer that I have fired at (200m max). I have made numerous handloads but always seem to grab a box of PPU for a hunt. On the upside, although factory ammo is limited by comparison to other more popular calibres, it is still available and the Prvi 140gr SP do around 2800fps and give no reason to complain. You don't have to handload if you don't want to, but if you do, you have every choice from 120-175gr and powder aplenty. If I had to pick just once calibre to stick with in NZ it would be this one.
