I'm after mule deer, whitetails, hogs, Russian boar, and maybe other occasional critters depending on what's going on.
Is the 7x57 a good round for most animals? What all is it good for? What other bullets is it comparable to/similar to? I know the Boers used the 7x57 back in the day to great effect, but somebody told me that the American-made ammunition is less powerful.
Finally, how does the old 7x57mm compare with other rounds like the 8mm Mauser, .300 Winchester Mag, .30-06, 7.62x54R, .308, etc.?
