Poll - M98 rebarrel - 7x57 Mauser or 7x64 Brenneke?

[dgfavor]

If bullet makers made bullets that really made me happy in .257, a 257 Roberts would 100% be in my future, LOL. Even 6.5 - which does have a fairly nice selection of bulelts, to be fair, but 7mm just has the better and broader selection of bullets that @NorthIdahoDude would be happy take hunting.

I shot the 133gr .257 Bergers in my Mauser 98 25-06 build (1:8 twist PacNor barrel) - killed paper and made noise on steel really well. Currently lobbing .257 Hammer HHTs 120gr - also killing paper and ringing steel well.
Fun gun and was a fun build.

7x57 gets my vote but have it stamped .275 on the barrel and turn your nose up at your fellow hunters when they look confused as to what you are carrying

I'm pretty sure everyone has ever hunted with me is confused about me for more things than just what I'm carrying, hahahaha.
