Is he wanting to use the CoreLokts, or the Ultras? I may consider using the Ultras, but definately not the regulars. I would try to convince him to buy some better bullets. He will pay, what $5 more for a box of Federal Partitions. Heck that is barely two gallons of gas. I would try to tell him, that the .270 is marginal for elk anyway and needs to use the best bullet available that his gun will shoot well. All I can suggest.
