Gentlemen, Please go to my answer to the OP, on 8/05/23, and please note that I started with the 270 Win., a .308 Win, a 30-06, and a 7 Rem Mag. Again, I started with the .270 Win, and ended with the 7 Rem Mag….the 7 Rem is pretty tame as magnums go.
If a hunter wants to hunt elk and can’t handle a .270 Win properly…..he/she should take up needle point or golf.
Unless a grown man has some form of disability (shoulder, neck, retina, ect.), or serious age related issues and cannot handle the recoil of an 8 pound (scoped) .270, .308, ect hunting rifle ……. we really have become a nation of pussys!
If this offends any of you ….tough! memtb You are an idiot. If that offends you...tough. I would expect nothing less from you! To allow myself to be offended by you would show a weakness similar to the abundant character flaws that you posess! memtb

My 11 year old wants to use his kimber Adirondack 300 black out on his cow hunt next month. I loaded some 120g tac tx bullets to 2250 and told him if he practices enough ill let him try it on a closer one.
My friend kilked a huge 7x8 bull with a 300 bo ar pistol and subsonic Hornady 190g sub xs. I was giving him crap about it he said it worked and then gave me crap about all the game I killed with arrows.
There's too many variables in the field to make blanket statements on what works and what doesn't you just have to know your equipments abilities and your own limitations in a given situation. Always helps to have a reliable bullet that will expand and penetrate a decent amount at the range you're firing it.

Lots of elk are killed every year with broadheads and muzzle loaders. Personally, I've killed more elk with a .270 than anything else. Of course, that was the only rifle I had for a lot of years. It has been my experience that it is a lot harder to FIND elk than it is to kill them.
Although, I used an 8x57 this year.
