My cousin in Canada killed an elk with a 250-3000 Savage with one well placed shot. My father killed an elk in Colorado with his 257 Roberts. I have 2-250 Sav and 2-243 Win my next rifle will be a 257 Roberts since my brother inherited my fathers. Anyone who claims it is incapable of taking down large game is to lazy to put in the time to become the kind of hunter that doesn't have to rely on a 300+ yard shot to take an animal.
