A buddy and I were having a few cold ones after work today. We got to talkin about hunting elk in a few years as he has a contact in CO and asked if I’d be interested. Neither on of us had ever shot an elk. I was telling him about the new M700 I was looking at and said I was thinking about a .270 since it’s been so long since I’ve had one. He said I “need” a mag if we head west.
Now I know damn well I don’t need a mag and was showing him some ballistics that pretty much meant nothing since he has a 7mag for deer that’s what he’d use for elk too.
I have plenty of others I could use, but not a .270 or 7mag.
For those of you that have used them on elk, which one?
Buy the .270 and load up with Nosler Partitions ( your choice in bullet weight) and go kill an elk.
Elk don't read ballistic tables or cartridge head stamps.
