If you can find someone to reload for you you can have the best of both worlds. If you want a better bullet than a " core-lokt" (and many folks here will say that you don' t need one) reloading is the answer.

There' s a lot of bonded and partician bullets to try out. A canister of RL22 will propel them all. IMR4831 is also a good powder for the .270

Good luck on that elk hunt.
