Absolutly...for me the 270 Win has been a solid performer.Coyotes, Deer, Antelope, Big Horn Sheep, Black Bear, Elk...all one shot kills, except the Antelope where operator error was the problem... not the caliber! With premium bullets the 270 WSM is to the 270Win what the 300 Win Mag is to the 30-06...extra insurance. It may not be necessary but if it will put your mind at ease, go for it. Remember that a 375H&H will work for hunting Trophy Mice, but only if you place your shots in the right place. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Personally, I would just stay with the 270 Win...use the money you would spend on the new rifle to finance your Elk hunt. Just my 2 coppers worth.
