First, I dont agree with an outfitter mandating a minimum caliber for elk, but it is his/her business and they can do as they see fit. The consumer on the other hand can do the same thing.
Second, how many elk are shot at or beyond 500 yards every year? Not enough to warrant your 270 to 308 comparison. Although I do agree that a 270 is adequate for killing elk.
Third, and lastly, while the 308 is similar to the 30-06 it is not "more than equal" in any area to it.

and why not compare .30 cals to the sub .30 cals..that is what this thread is about ...some one requiring a .30 cal minimum.......

I reread your post and again I am merely pointing out that the 308 is not more than equal to the 30-06 as you stated above....similar, but not more than equal in any area.

Like I said U don't know how to comprehend what U read!!!!!
"the 270 surpasses the 308 at 500 yds and is more than equal to the 30.06 with a 150 gr bullet"
please tell me where I stated the .308 was more than equal to the 30.06???
I said the .270 surpasses the .308 and is more than equal to the 30.06 with a 150 grain bullet........I compared the .270 to the .308 and the 30.06 in the same sentence...meaning if all three where shootin a 150 grain bullet the .270 would surpass the .308 .......and be equal to the 30.06.......I'm sorry if U can't understand english!!!!

The real lesson here, is never get involved in a gun/caliber debate online, it always ends the same way and its never good.

The Outfitter sees all types
From the highly practiced and qualified, to the nimrod who never practiced shooting or can't hit the broadside of a barn.
Some people, you must know, have the great ability to earn the money for the hunting trip, but never specialized in the art of hunting.
