[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 665483, member: 24624"] 270 Win is great for deer and even Elk out to a few hundred yards. So, maybe you just need a tune-up rather than a rebarrel? 6.5x284 is my favorite in the same category, but with better bullet choices for long range targets ditto for 260 Rem 260 Rem may have better barrel life than 6.5x284, but it really comes down to how you load your ammo and whether you're kind to the rifle if you really want to shoot Elk past 300-400 yds, you should start considering 7mm Rem Mag and up. But, this is where you start needing to open the bolt face and magazine length... 7 RSAUM and WSM are nice rounds with moderate recoil and excellent ballistics 300 Win Mag and WSM are going to be slightly better for long range Elk the 338's are nice for extending your range and energy, but they have their drawbacks as well -- richard [/QUOTE]
