I am considering buying an additional barrel for my Schultz and Larsen 30-06; probably in one of the calibres.
It would mainly be used for deer, with shots being taken at a maximum range of 250 yards, but also possibly plains game.
The 7x57 would seem to fit the bill, and I like the idea of using such an old chamfering, but would a 7x64 be a more pragmatic choice? I don't hand load, so would be reliant on factory ammunition.
I realise that this is probably no right or wrong answer to this, but it would be good to hear from users of either calibre.
