The 7x57 mauser and the 6.5x55 Swedish ( or Swede ) are old cartridges that are excellent for young or small framed shooters, however....as mentioned above as well - you almost need to be a reloader or know someone that is to shoot these calibers. There are factory loads available.....but not everywhere.

The more recent ( and similar ) cartridges to these are ; "7x57/7mm08 REM" and the "6.5x55/260 REM".

Regards, Vic
