Even though I've only used the 270 on one elk, I've seen it used on many elk. Never seen it not work.
I used to correspond with the late George Hoffman (originator of the 416 Hoffman which later became the 416 RM)... he was an African PH and real-deal hunter. He used the 270 exclusively on elk and told me he'd taken right around 50 with the cartridge. He never saw the need for more cartridge, and obviously he wasn't biased against large cartridges!
