RE: .270 For Elk Hunting
Use what you can shoot well. Take only killing shots. There's no need to ask if a cartridge is adequate only that how well you have practiced with the individual rifle. A person with a standard cartridge that is a good shot is just lethal as the one with a cannon without practice. Knowing your individual rifle is the best way to have 100% one shot kills. Forget the data base and start practicing. If your a hunter of wildgame you owe that to the animal.
