   As others have probably already said, a 270 is a big cartridge, easily large enough for the biggest bull you might encounter. 140 or 150 gr loads seem pretty available, in the country around there...

   Can't speak to the Kiwi variety, but we shoot a lot of Moose, Elk, Mule deer and Blackbear with 270win in Canada. it's plenty powerful enough for those species at normal (

   I would go 150 grain Sako Norma Federal in that order -dependant on what you can buy - I used nothing but Forest Service supplied 150 grain for years and dropped big reds very well

    I’d look at a 7RM or 300WSM, particularly if not reloading. If you are reloading then it opens up a lot more options as mentioned. 300WM is just a lot of gun. 7 PRC will be cracker if they come out...
