If bow hunters can discipline themselves to only take shots within the very limited capacity of their weapon, then surely a guy can use a .270 responsibly for elk, or a .243 for deer. It's all a matter of self-discipline. Without it, you will wound game consistently. Period.
My two cents worth, again!
I regularly kill deer with a .22 hornet, and a bow, If I had a chance at elk or moose I could do it with it as well, but I think I would use my .243.
Did any body see roger raglin kill some big ass cow looking thing, he shot it about 5 times with a big big gun. hell my friends mom put a 2000lb bull down with 1 shot from her 6mm. The damn thing was destroying there farm, so she killed it, it was the neigbors that got out and went on a rampage on her property.
