Yes it does. And my absolute go to gun is my 270. In fact, it has more power than, dare I say it, the 6.5 creedmore ?Whatever you shoot the most accurate. The .270 is plenty capable of killing elk and its killed thousands upon thousands of them over the years and despite what the ballistic experts say it gets the job done quite well past 300 yards from personal experience..
Exactly what I was going to recommend before I read your post… 30.06 with 180 grain nosler partition. Get real confident shooting 400-500 yds and 300 will be easy. Shot this combo for years very successfully ?An old rule of thumb is that you need 1,500 ft-lb of energy at whatever distance you are going to be shooting. That 30-06 with a 180 grain nosler partition should be good elk medicine out to 400 yds.
A 7 REM Mag is another great killer with 150 Nosler Partitions- or 175 ‘s. Put a great muzzle“Gunrunning past your wife”
First you buy a new gun and put in your gun safe when your wife is not at home.
Now is the hard part: you have to wait a few months without getting it out of the safe.
Then one Sunday afternoon you bring it out into the living room and clean and inspect it. And of course your wife asks: “is that a new gun”
At this point you say honestly: “Oh no, I have had this gun a long time”
This has become a joke between me and my wife. Whenever I have a gun out doing something with it, she asks: “is that a new gun?” To which I reply “Oh no, I have had this gun a long time”
But it works the other way too. I ask her: “are those a new pair of shoes?” To which she answers: “Oh no, I have had these a long time!” ? And because I am a smart man, I never question those purchases!!
