I don't think I would use a Ballistic Tip on an elk. If you're a Nossler fan go to the partion in 165 grain
I love BT bullets, they are great on deer but elk are tough

I'm a die-hard .270 lover. Been looking at the 7mm 08 for my fiance however, and can't find a negative comment about it.

Bear in mind the 708 is a short action and you can get in a slightly more compact rifle and it runs fine in shorter barrels than would be ideal for a 270.
270 is going to shoot flatter within normal hunting distances out to say 3-400 yards.
I dig the 7mm08 because I prefer compact rifles, in fact I am building one with a 17" threaded barrel.
Both are good obviously

Just a thought but couldn't you put a brake on a 30-06 rifle that weighs the same as her 7-08 rifle and wouldn't they recoil about the same unless the 7-08 has a brake on it also?
