[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 653156, member: 48043"] My brother killed 4 elk last year on a herd reduction hunt with 6 shots out of a 300 win and he used 165 tsx with rl22 at 3200 fps. Use a strong bullet and it'll do. The 130 grain mono's or bondeds will work too if you can't get the speed up on a 150. The 270 has sang its song on a 130 for most of its life. The case capacity is a bit low for good speed in a sporter barrel with heavier bullets. I really like to hit 3200 to 3300 fps with a hunting weight bullet for longer range hunting, but shoot the trajectory you know, as nothing will screw you up more than a gun that's flatter shooting or dropping faster than you expect. If your buddy's rifle likes 130's and won't hit speed accuratrely with 150's, get a stout 130 like the tsx or gmx and don't look back. [/QUOTE]
