I have shot several elk with the 270 Winchester, mostly with handloads using H4831 or R22 and 130 and 150 grain Partitions and Solid Base bullets but a few with 130 gr. Remington factory ammo. Mostly one shot kills with very acceptable results but multiple shots on a couple of animals when the first shot wasn't as good as it should have been.
The 270 is a good open country caliber for pronghorn, deer and elk. People who believe the 270 is inadequate for elk lack experience with the caliber.
