Just choose your bullet wisely and you'll have no problem taking any animal up to around 1000 pounds.  Beyond that, and I'd still use it but only broadside, no quarting-to shots and only slight angle quartering away.

As far as questions about blood trails and such, the 270 Winchester does as much internal damage as I've ever seen.  It seems like more so than the bigger 30 calibers and 33 calibers.  With today's bullets, its a great combination of lighter recoil, flat trajectory and good on-game performance. 

AND....You can find ammo anywhere just in case for super-reasonable prices compared to the other stuff out there today.

My 270 (Ruger Mark II) has rewarded me with 4 bulls, one of which was 345" (all in Washington).  I would really prefer to load my own ammo, but just haven't had the time to get into it yet.  So, my question is: what factory load do others like/had success with?  I have been using Fusion 150g and have liked what I have seen.  Most of all, my Ruger just really seems to shoot Fusions tighter than any other factory load.

I shot a grouse at 50 yards with a 140gr Accubond.  Through-and-through with small exit hole but lots of internal damage (neck shot).  Didn't recover the bullet.  As of yet, this is my favorite factory load (Federal Premium).

On a serious note, the same load worked great on a couple of deer and the rifle shot great with the load.  I'm sure it would do the job on elk.

Nah, think that little 270 would just bounce off an elk  :chuckle:

Hope to use mine on a good deer this year. Still not sure about those 140 SSTs

I dont sweat any of the bullets in the 270 win......they are all built for its velocity range, were it a wby or wsm I would be more picky.

I sure like the 270win! I use mine for elk. The only Elk I have killed took my 30-06 out hunting that day.
I felt like a one legged cat trying to bury a terd on a frozen pond!
