Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting 25 06, or even 257 roberts on elk?

I know one old guy who shot over 40 elk, including some very nice bulls, with a Savage 99...in 250-3000. Another killed six nice bulls with six shots with his 243.

While that may not be your first choice, it's not like the bullets are going to bounce off. As with all elk rifles, hit the lungs and the rest of your problems are minimal.
