I don't know any puplished facts about how many people hunt elk with a 270. I do know however that many do and I am sure will continue to. The ammo thing was really just another way to say that nothing will change a hunters mind about any gun he uses except bad expierences. Everyone has them who hunts much regardless of the caliber of choice. When they happen themost will blame everything but his own abilities or lack thereof. Seldom does the lack of ability of a caliber turn out to be the problem.
See you next fall when this comes around again, and it will because no minds will be changed hunting with the old keyboard.
Where Have I heard that before?
