[QUOTE="deerhunter64, post: 1552409, member: 106917"] I have not shot at an elk yet but have shot plenty of mule deer with a 270 Win. They have all gone done almost instantly. All have been perfect broadside shots and the deer have had no idea I was there. An elk is quite a bit larger and I firmly believe in using plenty of gun to kill a game animal as quickly and humanely as possible. When I finally do get a chance to go elk hunting, I will be toting a 338 Win Mag. It is not as accurate as my 270 but still shoots 1" or less at 100 yards. It will have no problem anchoring a big tough elk. The rifle kicks a little but it will only require 1 shot. The 270 would work but the 338 is a better option. [/QUOTE]
