thoughts on this caliber for larger alberta game elk and moose.
yes i know its all about shot placement, just looking to see some thoughts..
thanks in advance..
I've lost count of the moose and elk dropped by my .257 Bob.
Use a heavier quality bullet, Federal 120 grain Nosler partitions have worked well for me.
Keep shots to a reasonable distance.

I just about used my 257 Roy on a bull yesterday but went & grabbed my bigger boom stick. I am glad I did as I took a frontal shot with a big boom stick that flattened him. I would not of taken the frontal shot with my 257 Roy as I did with my 30-378.
Shot placement is key & questionable shots should be avoided on bigger game imo.
I got a cow with my 257 Weatherby a few years ago. 367 yards. I put another one in her just to make sure, but no issues at all. As stated above, might not take a frontal shot on a bull, just depends on the situation.
257 for elk
