Re: 6.5x57 and 7x57
No American ammo is available in 6.5x57. Neither is Norma. It's pretty much a central European cartridge. Everybody loads the 7x57, which is slightly more powerful. Accuracy depends on the rifle, not the cartridge per se. In India, I'd go with the 7x57, unless the 6.5 came a lot cheaper, and you could locate an adequate supply of ammunition.
