[QUOTE="Sid Post, post: 1908764, member: 8907"] Not everyone or every hunt needs the Weatherby or a wildcat. Heck, where I grew up the pedestrian 30-30 lever action ruled. The 6.5x55 is still one of the most popular cartridges in Europe, especially in the Scandinavian countries. The 7mm and 8mm Mausers are no slouches either. Granted the 257Roberts is an American invention but, it gives a strong nod to its predecessors and is plenty for most people and most hunts, though not optimal for really large animals or really distant shots but, that can be said for a lot of well-regarded cartridges too.
