RE: Long Range Elk Gun
I figured I would catch flack for voting for the 270 WSM..But I like that caliber and personally I would never shoot more than about 400 yards with any caliber.. Just Don't feel comfortable with anything farther than that.. So for my preference the 270 WSM would be fine. In fact I was suprised to see the numbers were better than the 338 at 180 Grains (which I picked simply becuause the 150 in the WSM and 180 in 338 where as close to comparable numbers as I could get). Do I think the 270 WSM could kill an elk at 800 Yds? Yes.. Is it the best choice, Probably not.. But for my shooting limits (400 yds) is would be just fine..
