RE: is the 270 a elk whacker?
Bust 'em in the shoulder! Large target, room for error, won't get far, will bleed out - good for the meat. Go heavy on bullet and use best bullets available. Got a 270 in my rack, but it don't make it to camp even as the back up rifle.

Good judgement comes from bad experience! Half of elk hunting is knowing what NOT to do!
