The 7x57 (7MM Mauser) round is a fantastic hunting cartridge, similar in ballstics to the 7MM-08 and some argue more versatile when handloaded in MODERN rifles. Being a wildcat of the 7x57 the .257 Roberts is a fantastic hunting cartridge especially for deer. I like it better than .25-06 because felt recoil seems less to me.
