[QUOTE="memtb, post: 2308313, member: 75451"] +1 on a bullet with a bit more structural integrity....provided you stay within the velocity window for good expansion. IMO, too many hunters plan/expect the long range shot.....neglecting the possibility that the shot be be just a few yards at an angle requiring a bullet to stand-up to close range impact with a couple of feet of muscle and bone to penetrate ....rather than inches! 😉 And I agree that the 270 is adequate, though not optimum cartridge/caliber for a hunter that may be his/her only opportunity to hunt an elk! I believe in insurance!!!! Same with bullet selection! If you feel that your chosen bullet is adequate to meet all possible scenarios......go for it! memtb [/QUOTE]
