If there is a better deer-sized game round than the 7mm Mauser, I'd like to see it...
There's a pic here for you:

"The 'Bob" is a necked down 7x57 ..... and is outperformed by just about any .308WIN or -06 Springfield based case. I can not think of any advantage it would have over any of those, save it is easier (and safer) to make a cheap sporter out of a '93 or '95 Mauser in .257 Roberts than just about anything else, in deference to the low MAP of both those Mauser models and the 'Bob.
