Default RE: .270 For Elk Hunting

True enough for me. Good luck this upcomming season. One more thing to add however. Penetration will also be determined by bullet frontal area. Over expansion or caliber size can limit penetration somewhat. I have not seen any common bullet in the field that will out penetrate the 180-190 grain 30 caliber bullet. I have seen tests that show that the 300 Win Mag will penetrate further than the 338 given bullets of equal SD.
