[QUOTE="budlight, post: 617962, member: 2939"] I got my first elk when i was 13 or 14 with a 30-06. It has been my life experience that you can download and refine a bigger volume case, but you can't upload a small case. Life is all about choices. When people get on me for getting rid of my 30-30 and 30-06 that has killed everything and won every war. I choose to go forward. I actually hate it when somebody quotes PO ackley's book. It was good and up to date in 1968. That is over 40 years ago. Modern powders negate many of his statements. I work on historic race cars and I always hear the same crap about some hot rod car from the pre 71 era. I know exactly what they can and can't do. I owned a few of them and worked on many more. I don't really defend any caliber. I've owned 22-250 thru 458 win mag and i know what they each can do. I do defend long heavy barrel rifles that people have put time and thought into. You apparently like smaller case capacity rifles.............. that's fine. As to the poster the 257W is a fine rifle for it's intended purpose. [/QUOTE]
