[QUOTE="35 Whelen, post: 1592563, member: 105990"] What ever you do don't sell your .270, it will handle elk with good bullets and is a grate cartridge for smaller game even at long range. Out of the cartridges you are thinking I'd go with the 300 Win. Mag. As many have said a true elk caliber starts at .30 caliber and goes up. I have taken elk with .270 Win., .300 Win. mag., and .35 Whelen, the later has become my favorite of the many I have. I think for elk the medium bores are the best, with the .338's and .358's being the best and they also work very well on smaller game with out any sever meat loss. [/QUOTE]
