I have discovered over the last 6 months what millions of shooters in this country have long known: that an accurate, well-aimed, modern action 7x57 Mauser with a Barnes 120-grain TTSX bullet (or a Nosler 120-grain Ballistic Tip, or a Sierra 120-grain ProHunter) and 51-52 grains of H414 is a thing of beauty -- minimal recoil, muzzle velocity from a 22 barrel of around 3100 fps or a little better (at safe pressures), good ballistic coefficiency and sectional density (so the bullet loses velocity slowly and penetrates very deeply), and outstanding lethality (with a well-placed heart/lung shot) out to 300+ yards.
