wolf killer. Your rifle should work fine. As will many other calbers. We are never all going to shoot the same thing. I have tried the cannon route many years ago. Now the shoulder is ruined and I have moved down a few steps. Has not changed the way I can kill elk. Although I have a lot of miles on the 270, I prefer the 280 these days.
James B I am sure after a few years I will get tired of the extra recoil. When I do, I will hunt deer & antelope with my 25-06. My elk & bear hunting will be done with a 338-06.
Until then I am going to shoot a cannon just for the fun of it.
