Default RE: killed elk with which cartridges?

My first shot was about 200 yards, she just stood there. I couldnt tell she was even hit.
She ran off probably 200 yards . It took two more shots at 80 yards to drop her. All three shots were lung hits, and none of the bullets came out. Maybe thats how an elk normaly reacts to a 270. With a big ravine not to far away i would have prefered a littlemore power.
