I inherited my grandmother's 722 .257. She was mostly a meat hunter, so mostly shot deer, though did take one cow elk with the rifle, using the standard Remington factory load with a 117-grain roundnose at 2650 fps.
It's taken the first big game animal for several people in our family, and in my hands has taken a bunch of pronghorns, whitetails and mule deer, including a big buck muley. Oh, and a pile of chucks out to 500-600 yards.
