Oh 7x57 is the Grand daddy was here long before these other young fallas came along!

I can't find the like button on your post.

I have the "Ballistic Twin" 7mm-08 in a Tikka CTR. The cartridge impressed me and the CTR has been great from the car.
I've read on the Grand Daddy 7x57 that leads to reading of 7x64 which is very similar to the .280rem Europe vs USA variant.

Then someone on another forum suggests a .280ai, well if I'm gonna build a custom.
Another guy sent me a case and a dummy round. I was fondling those and kept thinking about it.

I have a lead on Sambar with another freind so I've gotta be sure on my projectile choice, I really just want one load so it can be sitting waiting with suitable ammo there when I want it.
Any volume shooting or pest work might be more likely to use a .308
