Killed my first elk 50 years ago this fall using a 270 loaded with 150gr Nosler partitions. Killed several more with partitions in various calibers as the years passed, plus many others with various controlled expansion type bullets. I’m most definitely in the 2 hole, full penetration camp. This year I’ll be chasing bulls with my 7mm Mashburn, loaded with either an NPT or possibly a 169 Hammer Hunter.
