[QUOTE="COBrad, post: 2331928, member: 1940"] I too live in elk country. I shot my cow this year about 15 minutes from my house. Also guided elk hunters for 38 years. Unless you’re willing to burn up a good bit of ammo I would not suggest a 30 caliber magnum of any flavor. Recoil is on a whole different level than your .270. It takes most guys a fair bit of practice to master the recoil of the magnums, and even then your real benefit is range more than any real advantage in killing power until you start shooting out around 500 yards. The 270 is a fine elk rifle. [/QUOTE]
