Elk won't notice the difference either between the two. With the bullet selection for both you'll find a suitable one for all animals. Save yourself some headache and find one bullet that will work for all game. Since elk are going to be hunted I'd look at a 140 grain bullet like the Nosler Accubond for the .270 for a do all bullet. I no longer hunt elk with the .270 but I wouldn't hesitate to go back to it, as I've killed the most elk with it and a 150 grain Nosler Partition (before Accubond) . The only reason I don't hunt with the .270 anymore is because I'm always trying something different like a Whelen, .338-06, .300 Savage or H&H, and the .375 Ruger or JDJ. Now that I have a .45-70 I may have to try that one as well.
