I own 7X57 rifles, and I have hunted with a 7X57 for 30+ years. I have tried others (30-06, 308, 7mm Mag, 243 Win, 8mm Rem Mag, 8X57, 9X57, and a few oddball ones thrown in for g&g) and always end up back with the 7X57. It shoots well, hits wel, and has very little report and/or recoil. I have never owned a 6.5X55, but they are right there along with the 7X57 in terms of power and trajectory.
