Default RE: .270 wsm vs A big Bull

ORIGINAL: buckinrut1980

Will a .270 wsm shooting 150gr XP3 bullets cleanly kill a big bull up to 350 yds if I do my part. Or Should I buy a new .300 win mag?

Thanks
A big bull WHAT?? Moose? Elk? Elephant?? Moose, yes. Elk, for sure. Elephant? A little on the light side...... OK! MOOSE!! MOOSE are easier to kill than elk. But most moose will not drop at the shot, no matter what hits them - they just stuble off and die pretty close to where they were when shot. Unfortunately, given their propensity for swmpland, they sometimes stumble out into a creek or pond then drop in the mucky water! Ugh!!

You will of course, have to place the bullet correctly. But that's true no matter what you're shooting!
