One of my friends here in Idaho grew up ranching and hunting since he was just a little boy. He prefers the .270 as his elk rifle. Some folks tell him it is too small, but he has killed dozens of elk and dozens of bear with this rifle. He happens to be a crack shot so that helps. My eyes are getting too old for me to handle anything much beyond 100 yards. The .270 in the right hands is essentially the same as a 30-06 but flatter shooting. My friend uses 130 grain silvertip bullets which he has likewise been told is too small, but who can argue with his success.
