I'm a true blue 270 Roy man. It's my go to deer, antelope and sheep rifle. I'd use it for elk but for my 340 that needs exercise too, 250 gr NoslerPartition @3050 fps. Then there's my 375 H&H, (Weatherby Mark V Safari Classic) 300 gr Shock Hammers @ 2670 fps. Too many choices for elk, caribou, moose, bears. Damn!!! JM
