[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 951390, member: 13632"] I use heavier and I use cup and core because of deflection on elk and because I want a wound channel I can stick my hand through. Spent way to many years in the light fast bullet camp and lost elk and put more holes through elk than were needed because of it. You will absolutely be able to kill elk with the 110 but from experience using a 110 270 cal bullet on elk vs a 140 or better yet a 165 gr there is no comparison in the wound channel and no comparing them when hitting heavier elk bone. If I have a 270 that is twisted slow I'll shoot a 140 Berger but much prefer to shoot the 165 Matrix if I can, they crush elk like no other bullet I've ran through a 270 cal. An example would be hitting an elk in the neck, the 110 will not make it many yards before it won't break their neck and just try to bore a hole, the 165 will REMOVE a section of vertebra for and break the neck for a considerable distance, there's just no comparison! Deer and antelope at normal ranges the 110 TTSX is a great little bullet for normal ranges. Even if I'm shooting copper bullets now days I stick to shooting as heavy as I can, if I had to shoot copper in the 270 I'd rebarrel and shoot a Cutting Edge 160 grain. [/QUOTE]
