My first rifle was a 25-06. Shot everything with it from fox to elk. Had nor problem with dropping an elk. None.
Friend had a 243 built for his wife last year. She had 2 tags. I know she dropped her bull with it, no problem. Can't remember if she got her cow.
I'm with the guy who stated, if you shoot it well, it's worlds better than a big rifle that you don't shoot as well.
