The 7x57 Mauser is a Sweet Rifle

<p>The 7x57 Mauser rifle is probably the best all-round rifle ever invented.&nbsp;&nbsp; A man named Bell killed over 1000 elephants with it, specializing in brain shots.&nbsp; Untold number of deer have fallen to it.&nbsp; Countless enemies have dropped to the report of a 7x57 Mauser, too.&nbsp;&nbsp; It destroyed the communists in Spain in the 1930's, and darn near defeated the Americans in Cuba during the Summer 1898 war there.</p><p>It has little recoil, can be shouldered by anyone, and is pinpoint accurate.&nbsp; On top of that, surplus military rifles in this caliber can be easily obtained at any gun show in the country today.&nbsp;&nbsp; Or on the internet.</p><p>It's best when shooting it's original bullet weighing in at 175 grains, but there exists a 173 grain H-jacket bullet that is also excellent.&nbsp;&nbsp; Remington produces a 140 grain number that's alright, but the heavier projectiles serve better.</p><p>Velocities run around 2600 feet per second, faster with the lighter bullets, and this is more than adequate for any purpose it needs to serve.&nbsp; More than 20 countries have used this cartridge as their service round.&nbsp;&nbsp; After it proved ballistically superior to the American weapon during the Spanish-American war, the USA more or less copied it and the rifle which fired it.&nbsp; So much so that they had to pay the Mauser company in Germany a royalty for every rifle produced until the First World War.</p><p>This bit of genius has never been improved upon, nor could it be.&nbsp; It's perfection in itself and thoroughly complete in its present form.&nbsp; As if all of this weren't enough, rifles in this caliber can be had inexpensively.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Why wouldn't any rifle shooter have one?</p> 10 application/xml false 7x57 hunting rifle Mauser rifle service cartridge shooting Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT); Tablet PC 1.7; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 DSMcGee 24.180.199.118 false true false false true 194624 false false true false false false true 130235 blog blogsite/TrueStuff/web
