Elk Rifles

This has probably been stated as long as there was such a thing as hunting, but shot placement still rules the day. I would not feel handicapped one bit with a .270 Winchester as long as I used properly constructed bullets and was able to place the shot correctly.

Although I have no problem with the big magnums, I think far too many people miss or wound with them because they are afraid to shoot them or are unfamiliar with them.

I would much rather see someone hunt with a .270 they shot well than a .338 mag that scares the hell out of them.

When we lose an animal I think we all lean toward blaming the gear. But I also think that if we are honest with ourselves we know better.
