[QUOTE="dogz, post: 3028657, member: 5429"] Your 257's will do very well as well your 6's. What year and what state is your hunt at? And not to turn this thread into the toidy but Mountain Sloths comments about "pumping 6mm slugs into elk" is way freaking off base and tells me a ton load about MS. I'd be for betting that as a general rule those using the vaious 6's put elk on the turf just as fast and with as few or less rounds expended than the big belted mags! Heck I know of more than a few elk who've made their way into the deep freezes on friends via 22/250's and Swifts. Killing elk just isn't rocket science despite many people's efforts to make it so. We all have our limitations, ideally people understand that and keep to those limitations....ideally [/QUOTE]
