I like both rounds and either would work on elk with the right bullet. However, I'd pick the .270Win. if I had to use the .275R in a Weatherby rifle. I just haven't been able to make peace with the Weatherby style stock.

I own both, and would lean to the 270 just for a slightly heavier slug.

For elk I would choose the .270 Win every time. With 150g bullets.

In this comparison I favor the 270 with 150 or 160 NP's for critters in elk size hides.

Taken with a .257 Weatherby at 385 yards...120gr partition.

This one was taken with a .270 at 225 yards...130gr partition.
Either will work fine if you place your shots well...

Nice pics Pat! 4 some reason or another the first bull (and I love that bull by the way) looks like it fell in less than an elk packing friendly spot... grin

I agree with that statement... but I am a diehard 270 fan.
So I would choose a 270.

In reality, my 338-06 would probably get the nod.

Both will do the job, but I personally would choose... neither.

In my book, bigger critters deserve bigger bullets. To paraphrase the Keithian hypothesis, with some Capstick topspin, if you're fixin' to put a hole in something, make it a hole to remember.
