My backup on this trip was going to be my (new to me) 338 WM. But now I thinking my 270 or one of my 6.5 sweeds.

HaYen, if you shoot your 270 better, that's the one I'd take. That 150gr. partition will work just as well as that 165gr NAB from your 30-06. Try some RL 26 and you'll be impressed with around 3,000 fps (even with a 22" tube from my experience). Good luck with your elk hunt..
