[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 788805, member: 13632"] Bell used the 7x57 because of the reliability of the ammo available at the time, he tried chamberings that he found killed better BUT the ammo would not go bang every time he pulled the trigger so he kept going back to the 7x57. He kept great records of his hunting, every other elephant he shot with the 7x57 took another round to kill it, the rifle did not make Bell the legend Bell made himself and the rifle!! There are four 270 bullets that out BC and out SD your 162 A-max, so ya I can blow the doors of your 7x57 with the 270 WSM, I don't even need to use the top four to do it!! If I was head shooting animals at close range the 270 WSM would be a waste of powder and lead, shoot an elk at 800 yards and then it's kinda nice to have, shoot an elk at 1400 yards and a 338 RUM is kinda nice!! Go drop a bull elk at 900 yards with your 7x57 and get back to me on how it's better than my 270 WSM, cause that is what we're doing here not shooting elephants in the head at 30-40 yards!! [/QUOTE]
