RE: 270...elk cartridge?
Buck,
I suppose I owe you at least the courtesy of a response, even though I've been using Barnes X's and Partitions for some years now....
James and I cover the two ends of the elk hunting spectrum.
We're both quite capable of carrying on a point on point, ahem... discussion.
Neither of us, can promote our viewpoint to any excess without the other pointing out the parts left out by the other --- kind of a checks and balances thing.
The readers of the thread are left to judge and weigh the two sides for themselves --- as ultimately,mature adults willtend todo.

HillBill,
Read back.
Didn't tell anyone to not use a 270.
What I did say was not to recommend it unconditionally as it is getting down towards the smaller end of what works and Johnny Ace Deerhunter may underestimate thedifferences between whacking a deer with a 270 and whacking an elk with a 270since what one can get away with on a deer one may not get away with on an elk (like shots other than picture book broadsides as a simple example).
They ain't the same critter so it ain't necessarily gonna have the exactsame result.
I'm hoping that ain't too hard.... as you say..... sheesh.
