Finally going out for my first Elk hunt this fall in New Mexico mountains. I have a fine .270 but wondering if I need to move up to a bigger caliber and if not whether I should use 150 or 130 gr. bullets. I know Jack would say I am fine, but at not being an expert marksman I just want to be sure. Thoughts?
