Here it is again!!!! LOL!!!!!!! Folks seem to think U need a magnum for elk....what a crock!!!!!!! shooter1966, the .270 has killed 10's of thoushands of elk and quite handily at that!!! folks on here keep up with the words bullet placement and range!!! well I would hope that, that would go with out saying!!LOL!!!! BUT I know that there are some out there that DO rely on the extra little ummpf that they get from the magnum,s to make up for their short comings as shooters!!! bigger is not allways better!!! keep U're .270 and go kill an elk!!!!!
This is a dumb, stupid statement. That's all I'll say about that!
If you have a .270 that you are shooting good, get the right bullets and go for it.However, if you have the dough and want the enjoyment of owning a bigger caliber, then get one. I hunt elk with a 300 RUM, and it is my elk rifle of choice. Elk hunting is so much more than the gun you carry. Good luck with whatever you choose.
