Here we go again! LMAO!

A .270 is enough for sure but there are better choices for elk. I would highly consider a 30.06. I have been shooting a 300 RUM for elk for several years and a .270 for mulies. I have a 30.06 that shoots better than any gun I own and I'm considering going back it for all of my big game. (deer size and larger) There are a ton of variables but one thing always stands out in these type of threads....the 30.06 is the one rifle that is the best do it all rifle and is recommened by most as the best. When I was a kid all you ever heard about for elk and deer hunting was a 30.06 and a 30/30. You can buy factory loads for a 30.06 from 100 grain all the way up to a 220 grain. It's just a great round and the ammo availibility is unsurpassed by any other round on the market.
