Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting 270 Wby or 375 H&H for Elk hunt?

I would have to go with the 375 H&H. And I am not saying the 270 Weatherby won't do the job. It most certainly will. You stated the 375 is lighter and shoots well and you haven't hunted with it yet. There is no better way to build confidence than by shooting it and hunting with it.

The 375 H&H, especially when coupled with a good 250-270 grain bullet, is fully capable of 400 yard hits on elk.

Once you have your load spend some time shooting it at 200, 300 and 400yards....
