[QUOTE="TedKennedy, post: 3419675, member: 25419"] "With the exception of the 7mm [URL='https://www.remington.com/'][U]Remington Magnum[/U][/URL], cartridges of this diameter have never been as popular in America as they should be—maybe because this was the caliber of the Imperial German Army and the Nazis. Nonetheless, 7mm bullets can be extremely aerodynamic and, as legendary elephant hunter Karamojo Bell proved, effective on even the largest animals." From the second article. In fact the German standard round was 8x57, NOT 7x57. While the Germans did invent and produce the 7x57, it was mostly exported as the standard round for many South American countries. Both rounds are great for deer, but the 8 is far superior in terms of ballistics, and also delivers a much heavier payload. (awesome round for pigs, BTW) This is such common knowledge, it really illustrates how ignorant the current crop of "experts" and writers are. [/QUOTE]
