[QUOTE="warboar21, post: 2553321, member: 88146"] My brother loaded the 117gr Sierra Game King for his 257 Wby since it's what I was loading for my 25-06 several years ago. He has taken a pretty nice Bull Elk with it and a few Mule Deer. Speer does a 120gr that you might consider as well. The Speer has a slightly better BC than the 115gr Berger if that is something you're interested in. 4.80 vs 4.66. The Speer are also about half the price of the Berger as well. I see Midway has a sale on overrun 120gr Nosler Partitions. Out of the 3 cartridges you listed for your granddaughter you can't go wrong. I'm more partial to the heavier bullets in the 308 for Elk than the Creed but truth be told the Creed will kill Elk within the same distances of the 308 or the 7mm-08 for that matter. I would suggest whichever caliber she is the most comfortable with and shoots the best. That would be the most important factor. Don't want her developing a flinch and bad shooting habits if she finds one caliber to much for her. [/QUOTE]
