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.
Goos Blues,
I've seen that before too. When I say that though some people think I'm crazy. It's bizzare, the .270 on elk, I've seen them drop in their tracks and others do what you described. I personally wouldn't use a .270 on elk while many others will say it's just fine. Just boils down to personal experience and preference.
