Took my largest bull with my 270 WSM and 140ABs. The killing Bullet crushed both front leg bones and was in the hide on the far side. I used to be pretty down on the 140 ABs as I'd used to think I should've gotten an exit.
Fast forward a couple elk later and some different cartridges and I've seen 300 magnums and 180 PTs caught on the hide with smaller Bulls.
I'd be just fine with tackling any elk with the 140 AB from a plain old 270 Win or WSM. Pretty great combo now that I look back at it.
Very cool recoveries... Sounds like they did the deed very well and I can't see any badness from either of those two.
