A buddy of mine once shot a bull elk in the snow. It ran a short distance into the timber and died. So did a second bull that he did not see until he found it dead next to his intended target.
He killed two bull elk with a single bullet. He used a 270 with a 150 grain Partition.
Phil Shoemaker once told me that a 270 with a 150 grain Partition was a very effective brown bear killer. He has seen it used a good bit and recommends it to shooters wanting to avoid heavy recoil.
