[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 680966, member: 30902"] Not everyone is capable of placing every shot within .5 MOA of their aim point every time or even consistently. Ballistically the .270 is simply inferior to the 7mag and other calibers I recommded. Yes you can kill an elephant with a .243 if the bullet is placed in exactly the right spot with enough energy to get there. I don't know this guy or most who post here so I'm going to give the best recommendation I can for the "average guy" which is going to be considerably different from what will work for a very experienced guy who can place those shots and has the discipline to say "no" when everything is not exactly right. There are exceptions to every rule, but they do not disprove the rule. Remember too this is the "Basics Starting Out" forum and with that in mind usually it is the new people to the sport whom we are trying to help, not folks who have been doing it for 10-20-30 years.
