Hey Buck...I hear you on the toughness of an elk.Did you see what I carry for elk now a .338. The first bull I got was when I was 14. It was standing broadside at about 75 yds,I was shooting my dads 30-06,I put 2 shots in the lungs and it still managed to get about 225yds downhill before going down for good. When we gutted it there was virtually no lung tissue in-tact. eek People that have never hunted elk just don't get how friggen' tough they are . Anyways...about my .270,It's a very accurate rifle with almost every brand or weight of bullet. I settled on the ballastic tips for deer, they expand quickly,and I get 3 shot groups I can cover with a quarter. It's almost unbelievable! cool
