[QUOTE="CUTTER1, post: 1731934, member: 94423"] I've hunted elk for 57 years and took my first one with my mom's custom 257 Roberts improved using old 120 Barnes bullets (copper tubing with lead core made in Denver) with over 100 bulls and lots of cows under my belt I've learned that big heavy bullets do better than light small slugs in general! With that said where u put the bullet makes all the difference in the world! If you have confidence with a rifle and can select your shots the chance of wounding game goes down! My mother took lots of elk with that 257 and daughter uses a 5lb custom 6.5x308 imp and both at 110# neither can or could handle a big 30 or338 mag. I've watched both take several elk with one shot kills and only a couple requiring a second shot! Good luck to your dad and his hunt, I've us a follow up. [/QUOTE]
