Just braggin' about my new baby

Solly,

For the pronghorn and probably the mule deer, the .257 will be just fine. However, I think I would go with something that can shoot heavier bullets for the elk and black bear. Like I said earlier, better to have enough gun if you screw up the shot, than not enough.

If you had posted those four species as your intended quarry to begin with, it might have cleared up a lot of things for everybody.

Me, I own a .220 Swift, .270 Win, .30-06, and .300 Win Mag. The next bolt action on my list is a .25-06 and then I think I will have everything pretty well covered until I decide to hunt grizzly or in Africa. Might just pick up a .416 for the heck of it.
