Went on an elk hunt with a few friends on a ranch about 100 miles south of here in Montana in 2012. One of them used a .257 Weatherby Magnum with 120-grain Nosler Partition factory ammo to take this bull. It died promptly--and the bullet exited. (But my wife Eileen andpaternal grandmother also killed "eating" elk with the .257 Roberts, which worked fine. Which is yet another reason I'm less than impressed with "minimum caliber/cartridge" for XYZ game anymore.)
