CLB: My rancher pal is a good shot, has lots of experience,and is familiar with the rifle....he knows when to shoot and when not to.He also has high regard for 7 mags and 300 mags, both of which he has also used to kill elk.
In other words he has the skill and judgement to make the 270 work well for him.Some other folks who use bigger cartridges and know what they are doing will have the same result,no doubt.
