[QUOTE="RevJim, post: 1692170, member: 86754"] I like the 257WM too. I used a couple different rifles on Texas Exotics. First one was a converted/rechambered Mod 700 Classic in 25-06. It shot the Nosler 115PT super well. Made my first ever long shot for me ( 375) on a nice old Blackbuck. I also popped a 35" Black Hawaiian. A few years later I had a custom Mark X and I had loaded it with the 100TSX. Another but bigger Black Hawaiian. The 25 cals are really popular down in Texas. I think "most" guys buy a "deer rifle" and use it on elk only as a one time or rare opportunity. I have always paid attention to what "elk hunters" use and the ones I've seen also start around the 300 mags. Good choices. I've used the 338WM and the 375 H&H on cow elk too. I guess I like the idea of "shooting through a lot of elk", at most any angle. Really, I think hunting South Africa/Namibia "ruined me" for waiting for the perfect broadside shot, ha. [/QUOTE]
