270 & 308 came to mind.What bullet do you guy recommend in the 270? |

RE: .270 & ELK
Jerry, First off thank you! Um.... here in AZ because we've in recent year have conducted projects "reviving" the California Condor population, AZ Game and Fish has asked all hunter in the northern and central portions of the state to use copper only bullets ( which they provide for free, to all hunters who aquired a tag, the reson being is because these birds will eat gut piles from the animals and then later die from lead poisoning. ).... so I recieved two boxes of Copper only ammunition from Fedral Premium.....
185 grain.... it hammerd him:D |
RE: .270 & ELK

RE: .270 & ELK
Were you looking at the copper only ammunition? I was looking at all available loads for the 270win.Look for yourself. http://www.federalpremium.com/products/rifle.aspx In fact the heaviest all copper load is the 130gr barnes load. |

RE: .270 & ELK
from my experience as a PA deer hunter, the .270 is ideal for deer but elk is kind of stretching it
the .270 knocked my first deer down, but it got up and ran 20 yards sure a .270 is the minimum in PA, but my cousin's cousin shot an elk 3 times with a 7mm-08 behind the shoulder through the vitals just to drop it if your going to to use a .270 bring lots of ammo and shoot till it's head goes down |
