The good thing about the improved .257 is you can shoot the heavier bullets faster out of it. I use 115 grain Combined Technology bullets in mine and get 3000+ FPS MV with it. That puts it close to .25-06 performance. With 115 grain CT Partitions I wouldn't be afraid to try it on elk, something I wouldn't do with 100 grain bullets.
