[QUOTE="Blueman, post: 1473797, member: 79698"] I like all the input here, I'm glad to see a few people to weigh in on the 270 wsm. Litehiker you have a good point. A true mountain rifle mean lightweight, and thats what I'm after. I know some people are 6.5 guys, I'm just on board with a 6.5 got elk. Last season my brother made a good shot on a 6 point bull at 325 yds and it dropped to the ground and when out of sight. 30-45 mins later when we got there the bull was still on his feet. I just like having at lease 150-160 grain bullet minimum for elk, I understand an elk can be killed with a 243, I just like the extra assurance. With that said, my thought process was 270 WSM, because it gives me enough horsepower, yet won't recoil like a mule. I'd like to shoot some lightweight 300 wsm with ~200 gn bullet to gauge recoil.
