Time for a poll

 In 2 weeks I have a hunt planned with my 16 year old son and 24 year old daughter. My son has a 308 which proved its capability on a black buck doe from 120 yards out. My daughter has a 243 that has 3 pigs by her brother her and her brother each got their first doe with it and last year she got a doe, a spike and a buck with it. I have my 257 Roberts but it hasn't proved itself yet. Should i stick with the Bob or take one of my kids guns and tell them Nananana booboo. Of course there is a very slim possibility that the person behind the rifle had a little to do with it. :lol::D:P

You and your companions are adequately armed. Now, can you put the bullet where it should be when you see an animal worth taking?

 

Crunch time.  :lol:

You might get that result with a high-velocity, expanding point bullet, but NOT with a .45-70.  Even with a 300gr HP at 2100 ft/sec, it wouldn't do that.

 

Picky-Picky details !

You don't say how much you have shot the .257 , even a paper targets. Any .25 caliber is good enough to take deer sized animals if the shooter does their part.  My primary caliber is .25-06 and I have killed literally several hundred deer, antelope and pigs with it.

I wouldn't try to take Kaya's .243. I'd become a statistic if I did. 

Just because she can outshoot you, you don't get her toys, even if you are the Dad. :D

My .257 Roberts has taken much game. First rifle, given to me by my father. Great flexability with 87g HP for varmits to 120g SP for deer. You got the right gun!
