A buddy used my model 70 FW 270 wsm to kill a cow elk in WY at 100ish yards. She was quartering hard to us. He shot her center, just above the brisket and the bullet a factory 130 gr Nos BT chrono'd at 3300 fps, went under the hide, blew a hole as big as my fist and penetrated about 2 ft and stopped under the ribcage on the offside at about the last rib. She went 49 paces with a so so shot. I have switched to a 129 LRX, as the 130 gr Nos BT and Berger CH and vld-h do to much damage on deer at close range imo.I was going to build a lightweight elk rifle in 7 SAUM. I have a NIB Christensen Arms Summit Ti Thumbhole in 270 WSM and was wondering if the WSM is a 500 yard elk rifle?
According to the test target, the CA shoots 1/2" with 130 grain Nosler Accubonds. I would rather use the rifle I have instead of building a new rifle. Thanks in advance!
I've killed several elk with my 270wsm at that distance. 140 Gr. Hornady. As with any caliber you must have excellent knowledge and shot placement.I was going to build a lightweight elk rifle in 7 SAUM.

Not shooting the 270 WSM, but having Killed many Elk with the "underpowered 270 W, using the 150 gr nos, plastic tip the 270 WSM should do just fine. Shot placement for any gun, Caliber is important!
