.270 VS Elk
« on: April 05, 2005, 06:39:57 PM »
Planning a fall trip to Colorado, what is a good load for the .270 to take for elk. We have been shooting factory Remington 130 gr for whitetail here in VA.

Thanks!

I also suggest Federal Premium Vital Shok 150-gr. Partitions for your 270 Winchester, with serious consideration given to their High Energy load.
45 ACP 230-gr. Double Tap Gold Dot = 1,010 fps / 15.3" & .95"    :D

Aim for the Triangle Area between armpits & throat.
