[QUOTE="rifle02, post: 5637480, member: 20050"] Maybe not the best all around, but it was one of my favorites. 7x57 mm (7 mm Mauser). Quite a few years ago a gunsmith recommended it to me as what I should use. I didn't listen and I went with 7mm-08 Rem. I've always hunted with rifles that I built. I loved 7mm-08 and used three in a row for a period of about 10 years or so. When I got burned out on that caliber I built a 7 mm Mauser on a 98 action in the style of a classic Sako. What a deer flattener. Good ballistics and very manageable recoil even when loaded up. I never fired heavy bullets only 140 grain of various makes. Not the best because you aren't going to find ammo readily available. But if you hand load it's an option for deer out to 300 yards. Something to consider if you are weird like me and want to use things that other people aren't using. Here's my disclaimer though I do own a 6.5 Creedmoor and I have pulled the trigger five times and taken home five deer so I would have to recommend it as well! [/QUOTE]
