[QUOTE="jcc, post: 1521395, member: 26548"] Another vote for the 270WSM. I have taken a couple elk with 140 grain Accubonds and then switched over to 129 grain Barnes LRX. Those LRX are screaming fast and I have had no issues with feeding. Last bull taken with the LRX was at 580yds and recovered the bullet on the far shoulder. [ATTACH]112853[/ATTACH] Also, I would vote for the 280AI as that is what I have been carrying the past two years. Two bulls so far and the 168 grain Bergers have been devastating. That rifle is a Kimber Mountain Ascent and very manageable despite the light weight. Great to carry, a little hard to shoot out to distance. An 8-9lb 280AI with a 26" barrel is going to be my next rig. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
