I don't like the .257 calibers for elk for the simple reason they don't make a heavier than 120 grain loads. Plus I have to make a cut off some where or I'd go all the way down to a .243/6mm caliber with 80 grain bullet because that is the minimum I can hut with legally in Colorado as long has it has 1000 lb of energy at 100 yards.
