[QUOTE="257WTBY, post: 2308655, member: 56428"] You will be good to go to reasonable ranges. I have killed elk with my 25-06 shooting 100 barnes bullets. I havent killed one over about 300 yards with it. When I first started hunting it was all I had I killed deer antelope bear and elk with it. I still use 25 cal a good bit but a little faster thru 257 WTBY. I would think with a quality bullet you'd have zero issues to 5-6 hundred yards. I elk hunt now with 340 WTBY about the same trajectory as a 270 but with w 225 gr bullet and I havent killed a elk over 500 yards but positive I could. I just want to ensure whatever I shoot at dies as quickly and humanely as possible. Go with confidence and I hope you get a nice one. Good Luck [/QUOTE]
