Howdy.
It IS a bit odd how the poor old .270 Winchester has taken a ton of "not an elk rifle" abuse only after the belted mags of various bore sizes became so plentiful. Of course the .270 is an elk killer of high efficency. Many Joe Average shooters can shoot it well with minimal annual practice due to it's mild manners. It may not be as thumpin' as bigger bores, but it's got decent penetration with adequate expansion when coupled with even fairly mundane old fashioned bullets of 150 grains. The sheer number of elk killed cleanly in the US and Canada with a .270 and Remington CoreLokt bullets would probably be hard to comprehend if it was actually known. Partitions and other hi-tech projectiles only improve the potential terminal results. Shoot that .270 and be not dismayed.AW
