[QUOTE="MJN030, post: 2307361, member: 119992"] I took an elk last year with a 168 gr Nosler in 7mm mag . The 270 is probably going to be enough gun but I would beef up the bullet . Just my opinion . You might consider Barnes 180gr ttsx if you have access to some . If you are going to use the 140 gr bullet sight your bullet at 3.20” high at 100 yards And that will put your drop out to 350 yards should be approximately -6” Everything else short of 350 yards should be point and pull the trigger The drop at 300 yards is approximately -1.5” This is with a federal bonded bullet . So your mileage may vary with other bullets but you can certainly play with these numbers Just my opinion Not trying to cause a major read or controversy . Marc [/QUOTE]
