Like I said, folks will believe what they choose to believe. I'm not going to get into a debate with folks or defend my position further. I've had my fill. It's really easy to say, "it's just the cost of doing business"...until you are suffering the consequences later on down the line. We...

This response is also for @towserthemouser. I've been in service to our country for 36 years. 25 in the Army, and the rest as a federal employee working in, shall we say, the "National Security" field. I am in charge of, among other things, the counterterrorism vetting unit at USAID. The...

You shouldn't believe everything being fed to you. What's going on to dismantle government agencies and what federal employees are enduring right now is beyond the pale and unconstitutional. Ask me how I know... That being said I hate any company that tries to push any social agenda...if you...

Great to know. Thank you!

Funny you should mention those...I checked out Hendershots and they were Out of Stock on pretty much everything 7x57.

Glad you didn't run it up as well, but also that I didn't snatch away something that you were really gunning for (pun intended ). A 7x64 ZKK or ZG47 sound really cool...good luck in your quest!

Great tip, thank you for that!

Excellent! Hopefully my rifle likes them. I really like the penetration and expansion with the copper monolithic, so I am hoping the TXRGs can be my one and done round for the Mauser...until I get around to reloading for it.

Thank you! I'll have to give the Norma Whitetails a try as well.

Again Sir, I appreciate your perspective. I heard that the S&B round had a tendency to separate and that American versions of the 7×57 tended to be underpowered. So far I have had no luck finding the PPU heavy rounds, but I will certainly keep an eye out for them.

Any feedback on the S&B 173 gr. SPCEs or the Federal 175 gr. Powershoks?

I saw those as well, that was going to be my alternative.

Excellent! I'll have to try a box when my rifle arrives. Hopefully it shoots them well.

Thank you all for the feedback thus far, please keep it coming!

Good to hear! Great to hear of some first hand experience with this round, especially from someone as esteemed as yourself, Sir.
