RE: Elk: Recommend .270 or 30/06 hot/flat-shooting ammo?
Depending on the terrain, it can take you a long time to reach an animal 400-500 yards away even if you do make a perfect hit. Thats pretty risky unless you are an old hand at it. For the 270 I would use the Barnes TSX in it's heaviest weight. For the 30-06 I would suggest the 165 grain TSX if they shoot well in tour gun.
