RE: good .270 elk bullet?
Before I upgraded to a larger caliber rifle, I shot 8 elk with the .270. I used 150 grain nosler partitions on 7 of them, recovered every bullet and did not shoot over 250 yrds, and then I shot one using 140 grain fail safe on a cow at about 60 yrds. and this is the only bullet that I did not recover as it went though ribs and far shoulder to exit.As far as price, these aren't cheap either, but don't crimp too much on ammo., as many would say that the .270 is a bit on the lite side for elk, but use a quality load topped with quality bullet, and it will work fine out to 250 yrds.
