Intuitively, the 7 magnum should kill better than the 270. It would seem to make sense that especially on elk, a 160 grain 7 mm bullet would likely give better penetration and/or a wider wound channel than a 270 bullet. I have shot quite a few animals with a 270, and a very few with the 7 magnum, and with the few animals I shot with the 7 magnum, I could never tell any difference in effectiveness. Admittedly, I am probably one of the least qualified here to make that judgement. Would like to hear some opinions from those more experiences.
