I agree with you that shot placement is everything a .22 bullet in an elks heart will kill it.
As for shocking and bone breaking power a .270 will never out do a 300 win mag. And for a longer distance shot on elk, i personnally would never attempt it with a .270. I can also say with full confidence that tons of elk have been killed by pretty ladies sporting .270's.
