Its a little funny that many of the people that talk about shooting that far and the low remaining energy will tell you that the 270 won't kill elk at 250 yards.
Who would say that? If someone comes in here and publicly says that, they need a good lecture. They may not care for a .270 but its more than adequate and has been used on elk forever. Most factory 150 grain .270 rounds would have 1800 to 1900 ft lbs at 250 yards, thats plenty.
