I honestly don't know why people think chuck hawks (or any of the writers on his web site) knows anything more than any average Joe. His site is quoted endlessly but I have yet to see any value to his articles that couldn't be obtained from almost any other gun writer (including the many, many internet experts) on the planet.

This is a good example. I have seen a Perfect Pair, and believe me this guy is missing the boat!

Kidding aside, a .270 with the right bullet is an effective elk rifle and to significantly improve on it you would have to go just a little further up than either a .30-06 or a 7mm. I would look at a .300 Win Mag as the next logical step up, but if I had to choose between a .30-06 and a 7mm Rem Mag - I would choose the .30-06.
