[QUOTE="Broz, post: 1222586, member: 7503"] It is true shot placement is everything. And many elk have fallen to a .25 and even smaller when things go good. Increased distance will increase margin of error , and lower energy. The last elk I saw taken with a 257 Weatherby took 5 hits to fall. The first one was placed the best. I was there for the shooting of 70 elk last season alone. I am most comfortable with a 30 cal and up when we are looking for a quick kill. Sure a .25 will kill elk. But is it the best choice? Not even close. Jeff [/QUOTE]
