Default RE: 270 and Elk

I have used 140 grain ballistic tips when they first came out though I don't reccomend them, 140 grain TBBC, 140 grain failsafe (discontinued) and 150 grain corelokts.

The only one to not exit was the TBBC but to be fair it traveled through the liver, then lungs, then broke the offside shoulder and lodged under the skin and was perfectly mushroomed. An excelent elk bullet inthe .270 or any other cartridge for that matter.

I would also take a hard look at Barnes and Winchester XP3.
