Hey everybody, the question i have for the knowledgable talking heads is this-270 with 130 or 25-06 with 120? I have a nice remington 700 in 25-06 and load it with 120 gr partitions. I have seen two elk killed with it on loan but never killed one myself. I have been in the market for a similar 270 Winchester simply because i would prefer the same flat shooting characteristics with a heavier bullet. I have heard that the 130 partiotn is dynamite on elk. I dont like to have anything make tracks after i shoot it the first time so these stories of elk running off 60-100 yards is not my favorite ballgame. So should i go 270 for its bullet weight or load up my 25-06 with 120's and call it square?
