Welcome to HC Solly. JMO, the .25 caliber is too light for anything larger than deer. Like said, it'll do fine with a good bullet in the boiler room. Anything larger you don't have much leeway, like Fabs said, you don't always get those perfect shots, so you'd have to pass on the marginal ones. Personally, after spending the time and effort involved in hunting, why place yourself at a disadvantage if you don't get the right shot? Another reason is the .25 caliber leaves a smaller hole and is handicapped in weight of bullets for larger animals.

If you keep all the above comments in mind, you'll have fun with that .257, just don't overdo it and think it'll knock the socks off anything in NA, Waidmannsheil, Dom.
