RE: 270 or 30-06?
Have both of those & like yall say either would work & the .270 works fine for elk etc also.(i wouldnt be popin them at 500 yrs whatever i use, including them calibers & hoping theres enough energy left)
Not exotic calibers & been around awhile , ammo is easy to find & cheaper.
I do like fat some to 45/70 etc( id use that in africa etc i think) poor mans big bore.
