I agree the 150gr Partition is all you need for elk.
HOPEFULLY--- I'll get to use MINE this year in Ark.
I've read the WHOLE thread...obviously the 270 W is good elk medicine. It'd be a whole lot EASIER toting and hunting my SS Lite 270 than heavier guns.
I also have a M 70 Winlite 300 WM that I like and kill WT with just for practice. It'll probably be my backup.
THANKS for this thread.
