I have used the .270 for 40 years, shooting everything from Javelina to Alaska-Yukon moose. I have also used it in Africa, India, and Iran. This may shake quite a few people up, but I am inclined to believe that the 130-grain bullet is probably the one best bullet weight yet, if the bullet construction is adapted to the animal

What JO said then still rings true, and todays tough 130 monometals just reinforce his words.
Boddington also subscribes to the idea that ones favorite and familiar .270win deer rifle is likely
to be the more ideal choice of rifle to take to Africa for PG.
Elmer Keith wrote a personal letter to JO stating that he honestly considered the 270win perfectly
adequate for elk, Keith himself took a similar bore size custom rifle (7mm) to punch holes in African game.
