[QUOTE="Walleye Slayer, post: 90692, member: 639"] I have personally shot 2 elk with a 270 and 3 with the 300wsm. After the first two I was not happy with how the 270 performed. I went and bought the 300wsm and will never look back. Like someone said above a big hole is nice and planting them in there tracks is even nicer. If you choose a lighter caliber you also better follow the rule of shooting until they are off their feet. If he/she is still standing shoot again. There is nothing worse than making a good shot with a lighter caliber and watching them run off to die in the nastiest place they can find. [/QUOTE]
