[QUOTE="FIGJAM, post: 1452052, member: 71039"] I have a 25-06 in a sendero sfii that I have used elk hunting in Idaho for years. Several animals killed at 600 plus yards with it. The bullet you choose to use is more important than the caliber in my opinion. There are so many good bullets nowadays that you can match to your style of hunting (short range, long range) for good results...and technology has improved that taking these long shots is easier than it has ever been. The BCs on the 25 cal bullets are’t as high as others which is its biggest draw back. There are a lot of animals wounded and not recovered with the big 30 cals. I wouldn’t hesitate to use your 257 weatherby on an elk hunt. [/QUOTE]
