RE: 270 For Elk?
Federal Premium 150gr Nosler Partitionor 130gr Barnes TSXFederal Premium would be my first choices.
Others:
Federal Premium140gr TBBC
Rem. Premier 140gr Aframe
Hornady Custom 150 gr Interlock SP
Winchester Supreme 140gr Failsafe (if you can find any)
I have personallyharvested elk and moose with the 270 win using 140gr failsafe and 150gr partition. Buddy of mine has shotthe majority ofhis elk and moose with the 270win, for as long as I have known him using only the 150 gr partition for everything. Never seen more then 1 hole in any of his animals, it's lungs or nothing with him. Key factors are placement, proper bullet and knowing yourlimitations.
