I have no concern with my buddy being ethical..he is a die hard bow hunter that knows the need for a well placed shot. I've watched thru bino's as he stalked a deer for over an hour. He comes back to the truck without firing a shot,I asked him what happened, he says " It was only a 15yd shot but I didn't get the angle I wanted ". As I said he is one of the most ethical hunters I've ever known.

Gamehunter...In the Cabela's shooting catalog I looked thru 7 major manufactures listings and found only 1 weight over 150gr, it was a 160gr round nose. If all we hunted was timber it would be a great choice,but I want a spitzer style.
You said a quality hollow point like the Partition? The partition isn't a hollow point.

I know alot of you are gonna say the .270 isn't enough for elk,And I would agree, it's not my first choice either. My friend has already told me he has no intention of shooting more then about 200yds,in most cases that is a pretty far shot for most hunters to take. Anyways...The .270 within it's limits will be enough,and my friend won't have to buy a rifle to use once every few yrs.

thanks again.
