    I have 222, 250sav and 7 x 57. A few companies still chamber 222 and 7 x 57 but not many.

    I read in a hunting book from culling days that the ammo handed out for 270w and 7 x 57 was too hard and didn't expand leading to poor kills. I think the same author had his mate driving deer up to Gulley heads where a few of them would empty 10 shot Enfield mags and poke the barrel into the snow for a cool down.
