I've had a 7x57 built for my next trip to Africa. With a Lothar Walther barrel and long euro throat it shoots 154, 160 and 175 weight projectiles brilliantly.
I've found the premium 175's a bit to 'tough' for 7x57 speeds so will probably use a 160 Woodleigh.
my rifle of choice for whitetails is a Dakota 7X57. I've never taken it to Africa but have been sorely tempted to. I'll b looking forward to your report.
Bart, I say go for it. The 7x57 is a great cartridge and will take a Kudu no problem. Over the years I took at least 6 Sambar deer with one and at around 600lb per animal had no problems. As always use good bullets and place your shot in the proper place and you will have your Kudu.
nah, come on i was only joking! i am a bit surprised you have such an old smallish calibre, but if you have one use it, its a great round and very effective.eace:
