E4E, as much as I love Keith, I am gonna have to say that hte 270 does have a place in hunting, My father bought me a rem 700 bdl in 270 when I was 10. still have it, as a matter of fact I have shot more game with that rifle than any other, it has a nice soft recoil, shoots flat, and has a decent selection of bullets for the handloader/reloader. I won't go as far as saying it is an ideal elk gun, because it aint, but it is a hop,skip,and a jump above the 260,7-08 crowd. BEARHUNTER
