[QUOTE="ohiohunter, post: 1124121, member: 55230"] Two BIG thumbs down on this idea Couldn't agree more. There is a reason the guys on here who kill elk and guide elk hunts regularly like the 300wm w/ 215gr bullets. Basically the heavier the better. Op if the 270 is your biggest rig by all means shoot 150gr+ pills. Then check your down range energy and determine your equipment's capability based on energy. Personally I like to see 1300ft/lbs minimum. The heavier bullets extend your killing range, but of course only take shots you are comfortable w/ given the conditions. Big magnums are not needed to harvest elk, the 270 is perfectly adequate for elk... but not elk at 1000yds. Everything is relevant, so choose your shot wisely and good luck! [/QUOTE]
