[QUOTE="Catskills, post: 1930290, member: 106302"] I’ve become a huge fan of the 270wsm. It’s become my favorite deer caliber. After seeing how deep 140 accubonds at 3200fps penetrate, I wouldn’t hesitate to use as an occasional elk rifle. In a lightweight rifle ( without a muzzle break), it is the upper limit of muzzle jump that will still allow you see impact. Would it be an ideal single purpose elk rife? IMO, that starts with .338 bullets:). Would it be a step up for elk over heavy loads in an 06? It would shoot flatter while providing more than sufficient penetration with premium bullets. As an all around rifle, I think a T3x would be hard to beat. [/QUOTE]
