[QUOTE="Firecat, post: 401049, member: 22600"] Others on here have given you excellent advice. Shooting a 257 Weatherby at elk will certainly test the very makings of any .25 caliber bullet. The combination of high speed and thick skin would destroy most any traditional bullet design. I would certainly tell you to shy away from the speer bullets on this one. Not that they don't make a great product, but they are designed for deer. You know as well as I that hunting does not alway produce ideal situations. That being said I would agree that an Accubond would be the bare minimum for this application and I would lean more towards a solid Copper like the mentioned TTSX, GMX or E-Tip. They will give you both penetration and bullet integrity. Keep it under 5-600 yards and the 257 will bring em down. [/QUOTE]
