Default RE: .270 too light for elk?
ORIGINAL: MO-KS_hunter

I was just wondering what everyone's opinion was on using a .270 winchester for elk? The reason I ask is I want to go on an elk hunt in the next couple of years and I don't want to buy another rifle if I don't have to. Also, if any of you have used a .270 for elk, what type of bullet would you recommend (i.e. Nosler Partition, etc).

Thanks

Sean
ive harvested a small bull with my 270 using 150gr rem corelocks
one shot DRT

elk are tuff.....put the bullet where its supposed to go
they might take off a short distance, but if the vitals are hit
(their done).......yes; use premium ammo (send the very best)
