    7x57. Any thoughts????

    I am considering a new build. Any thoughts on 7x57? It seams like it would fit a long action nicely with room to seat the long bullets. Is there a reason why it isn't more common? I believe the 6.5x55 has a taper to the case that has minor issues with pushing higher pressures. I...
