I grew up believing the 270 was not adequate enough for Elk based off all I read. I never even considered using it. The about five years ago I witnessed several damn nice bulls killed every year with one shot from a 270 and suddenly experience replaced what I read. Imagine that.

Keep your shots realistic and ethical, take you time, use a good 270 bullet, and I wouldn't even read another post on this thread. Rock on and hunt elk with a 270.
