RE: 270...elk cartridge?
Whew! I guess a stirred the pot thoroughly with this one![8D]
Just to clarify, I started this thread not EKM. So If you want to point a finger, point it this way. Now, I started this with the intention of some good hearted fun. My stance: 270 will kill elk. Its not my choice in the least. I prefer a larger caliber personally. I like the added comfort that shooting a gun that is at the upper end of the recommended scale rather than the lower. My Rifle of choice is the 338 win. As long as I'm hunting big game in North America the 338 will be the weapon I carry. I just have confidence that if I do my job it will do it's. I like the security of taking "plenty of gun".
