Elmer Keith said the most common shot at elk he had seen was a going away quartering shot .This requires great penetration to go through the paunch .
If I were a guide I would have as a minimum a 270 with 150 gr premium bullet.

Elmer keith would have kicked your butt till your head exploded. He and jack o connor had a feud going over the .270 for years, whether or not it should be used for elk. He called it a mouse gun.
But, this was also the same guy who shot at elk with a .45 colt. Talk about going hunting undergunned?
Listening to people argue about guns and right and wrong just makes my head spin. So often there is very little logic involved, and very little science.
