I have had a Winchester Model 70 Lightweight ( that's right, Lightweight, not Featherweight...the stock is different), in 7X57, for many years. You want to reload for this caliber, because most factory ammo is too mild loaded to appreciate what this old workhorse is capable of. The 7X57 was probably the first smokeless powder loaded cartridge to gain a good reputation as a hunting caliber. When you work up a good handload for it, it will do just about anything that a 270, 280, 7-08, and other similar calibers are capable of.....with a little less recoil and powder. I think it is a top 5 deer caliber.
