7mm is a common hunting calibre, as is ".270", which is very close to 7mm, and 7mm military rounds were once quite common too. While Germany went with the 7.92mm/8mm Mauser, 7x57mm Mauser was a very common military round in the rest of the world for much of the early 20th century. Which is to say, 7mm is actually a common rifle calibre, especially outside the USA.
