[QUOTE="Wolf76, post: 1443767, member: 75779"] When I went elk hunting last year, the 257 was my backup gun. I was very comfortable using a 120gr partition handloaded hot. BUT my 300 with a 215 Berger was my first choice. The 6x6 I shot was 208 yards and could have been killed easily with any legal cartridge. IMHO the 06 is not much different out to 400 in terms of terminal performance. After 400 yards, I don't love either choice. If your shots are further, you may want to buy or borrow a bigger stick.
