If you can't kill an elk with a 270WSM then you have no business out there hunting them in the first place.
AMEN!!
Personally, I'm looking very hard at getting my son a .270 WSM for his first elk hunt this year (he's 12). My sister shoots a WSM and loves it. I'm a ballistic and hand loading junkie and I've been very impressed with the majority of the WSM line. Anyway, bigbulls has it right above. Just wanted to through in my 2 cents on the WSM.
