.257 Weatherby

[SJB358]

If you're comfortable with the .257 Bee, I'd say go for it. This caliber is a laser and with a good bullet it can be very effective. My Wife put this cow on the ground @ about 425yrds last Dec with a 115gr BT through the top of the shoulders. ( Can't say it's my first choice bullet, but my hat is off to Nosler for a premium bullet no matter the circumstances )
Pic is with the M7 .260 however - it's lighter to pack through a couple feet of snow :grin:

Great picture Mark. Says alot about that 115gr BT. Scotty

Unless my math is off the 257 is bigger than the 6mm. Dont get me wrong I wouldnt advocate that either is the best, but what do I know. People supposedly elk hunt all the time with 7mm's and slow 30's. I'd be surprised if youd have any problem with a 115 Partition or AB. If you shoot it well, take a good shot and get within 250 yards you will have a dead Elk. But again Ive never shot an ELK, just gotta put in a plug for .25. CL
