Comfortable with both rifles, but not sure which one to use on my upcoming Elk hunt? The .270 Win is a Browning BAR semi-auto loader, the 30-06 is Mossberg bolt action rifle, or would you invest in a .300 Win rifle?

Agree. The 300 shoots the same projectile as the 30-06, just a few hundred fps slower. At long extreme ranges, it would make a difference, but at normal hunting distances 30-06, is a great round. Bring the .270 as a back-up if you have the room.I have a 300wsm and a 30-06... my 30-06 can do anything that my 300 can do. Save your money and buy a good pair of boots and a decent pack
I agree, but I like to use bullets that I can put THROUGH the shoulder. Keeps them in place better...Both 270 and 30-06 will kill an elk, no problem. I went with 30-06 this year just because of the wide range of bullet weights. Put one behind the shoulder and it'll drop.
