Would a .270 over penetrate?

C'mon, Norm - you know .270 just bounces off. Use enough gun!

I thought from the title it might be for square/rectangular ivory with doube roots....

You talk a lot of sense, a H&H .470 nitro express would probably be more appropriate. You don’t want to get charged by one of those and not have enough gun.
