[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 1699120, member: 109862"] When you consider how many elk have been killed with .243s and .30-30s and arrows there’s no question the .257 can very humanely do the job BUT I’d say you need to be more particular about waiting for that perfect broadside double lung shot and pass up on others. Many guides and outfitters list the 270 win as their recommended minimum for elk. The .257 doesn’t use as heavy bullets but if you’re using a tough projectile it is energetically on par with the .270 win. [/QUOTE]
