Really man u would shoot an elk at 700 yards with a 270 WSM
Well yeah.. I mean look at the most popular round the 338 Win Mag..
At 500 Yards the 270 WSM with 150 Grain bullet has more Speed, and Knockdown power and is flatter than the 338 Win Mag..
270 WSM at 500 Yards 150Grain- Speed = 2213 Energy = 1631 Drop = -34.7
338 Win Mag at 500 Yards 180Grain - Speed = 1950 Energy = 1520 Drop = -39.2
So yeah.. I would use the 270 WSM. In fact, the 270 WSM is ballistically better than all of the others listed at 500 yards.
