[QUOTE="crkckr, post: 2018798, member: 78056"] I use 2 bullets in Win. 270, the 130 Partition and the 150. The 130 seems to be a bit more accurate but the difference is slight. I use the 130 for critters like Coues whitetail and the 150 for muley's. I punched a wounded elk in the ribs at 200yds with a 150. It took out a rib going in and coming out but the wound was not what I would call significant. The bull died but it took 2 or 3 minutes... he wasn't going anywhere because the other hunter had "kneecapped" him and I didn't have another shot due the position of the other hunters after he fell over in a creek. Personally, I would never intentionally use a .270 on elk (I was hunting for muley's, having already taken my elk) because it just doesn't have the required punch... in my not so humble opinion. I'm not trying to open up a debate, I'm just saying. If you do use the .270, use the heaviest bullet going as fast as possible and one that has good, solid construction. I've seen too many elk wounded with cup 'n core bullets out of a .270. Personally, my elk rifle is a .338 WM with 210 or 250 Nosler Partitions. If I were buying today, it would be a .300 or .338 RUM.
