I can still remember when the .257 Roberts was touted as "perfect" for whitetail Texas deer, then the 25-06 came out and it took its spot in my part of the country. Then the 6mm Remington in the 742 came out, wow! It really took off! And its only a few thousands different in diameter, same case as the Roberts! ha. I know several guys that kill elk every year with 6mm Rem, 243, and 240 Wby. So, when I hear about killing elk with the 6.5 Creedmoor, I begin to wonder how many folks used the 257 Roberts on them ( and everything else!) ha Plenty I bet!
