[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 652713, member: 13632"] It's really hard to talk about a chambering and it's effectiveness without talking about a bullet to go with it. The 270 Win with a 165gr Matrix bullet would be my choice, having seen what it will do with elk in the ranges your talking and having taken elk at that range with a 30-06 the 270 with that bullet is more effective but you need to be at an elevation to stabilize it in a 1-10 twist factory barrel. Next would be a 280 with a 168 Berger. I would choose your bullet first then the chambering to get it to the performance level at the range you need. [/QUOTE]
