Anyone make a new 7x57

I have owned a 700 Classic in 7x57, and at present have a 700 Mountain so chambered. They are long actions, to be sure. As has been observed, the short action is too short for this fine cartridge. As for performance, the 7x57 in a modern rifle will beat the 7-08 in a good handload, but lags behind in factory offerings except for a couple of European loadings, which are much more potent than the "sissy" loads made here in N.A.
