[QUOTE="Troutslayer2, post: 401572, member: 25190"] Having guided a lot of elk hunting and shooting plenty of them myself I have concerns that any bullet in .257 WBY is going to be enough. Not to start some kind of ethical ****ing match, I am aware that they have been killed by spears, arrows and the like, but... I have seen elk lost. I lost one myself with what I thought was a perfect shot from a .30 cal bullet. They are hard to kill, and trying to knock them down with a 100 grain bullet doesn't pay them the respect they deserve. If you are going on a guided hunt I would be surprised if the outfitter would let you shoot a .25, and I would be suspicious of any outfitter who didn't have a problem with that. They can cover great distances after being hit in the boiler room. Sometimes when you find them you're amazed that they went more than a step with the kind of damage you've inflicted. Just something to think about. [/QUOTE]
