[QUOTE="MajorSpittle, post: 1809883, member: 53101"] Yeah, I doubt I would use the .270 for elk hunting at all. 800 yrds is just the farthest I would feel comfortable shooting in the mountains under ideal conditions on an elk sized target, so just looking for opinions on a round most capable for the job as I wouldn't be carrying two different bullets. My 30-06 is the biggest gun I wish to carry with the most recoil I can deal with while shooting long distances in hunting situations. I guess part of my thought process is that with the heavy 208 ELD-M, it impacts at 2600-1800 which is only about 800fps difference in roughly 750 yards. I wouldn't really consider 2600fps an explosive speed for a 30cal round as long as the 208 ELD-M is. For the 270 I see a definite need for a durable bullet, thinking a partition, SST, or Interbond.
