Cool 270 & Elk

Don't let any of these gun nuts tell you that a 270 is not enough gun for elk. Those gun magazine educated nimrods think you should use a different caliber for each game species (sell more products). Hell, the 270 was enough gun even before the age of the Super Bullets. The Speer Grand Slam will kill the biggest bear. I'd go with the 150 grain, but I've had just as good luck with the 130 grain. Yes, it'll even work on quarting shots. Go to an elk camp and see what the women are shooting. In many cases you will find the 257 Roberts which will also work. The 270 is not a specialty caliber, it will work on any thing in N/America.
