All-around .270

[Mil Dot]

Tater,
My 270 loves the 130gr bullets. IMO a premium bullet, reasonable range and shot placement will make your 270 a good deer/ellk killer. I'm not an engineer, but keeping your bullet speed around 3000 fps seems to be the target for most manufacturers bullets to maximize expansion without blowing apart. May be someone knows if this is true or not, but it sure seems as though I run across this number alot. Elk are pretty tough animals and can get themselves into some pretty tough recovery areas really fast, so I'd make sure to use something on the line of a Trophy Bonded Bear Claw, Partition, Barnes or Swift A-Frame and put it in the boiler room.

Good hunting
