[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1195672, member: 27307"] Of the .270 WSMs I've built, the best performing combination for elk has been the Barnes 130 gr. TTSX running about 3200 fps. Plenty of energy, plenty of velocity and will penetrate bone while retaining bullet weight intact. The best performance though is to avoid the heavy bones and make the proper heart shot to minimize meat loss. If it's a cow then break the neck or take a head shot. These all require some precision capability so if she lacks this then a body shot is all you're left with unfortunately. Regards. [/QUOTE]
