Moose are pretty scarce hereabouts as well. Never had a Swede, but based on data from the loading manuals, I'd not hesitate to use it on deer and such at any sane range with the proper bullets. Ditto for its' ballistic twins the CR and .260. Without getting into a bunch of ballistic gack, I can't see where a couple hundred fps would make that much difference at even 3-400 yards, again assuming appropriate bullets.
I fell into the .270 habit as a result of an opportunity on a gray rat pre-64 that was about to get pawned if I didn't bite. The cartridge has been so satisfactory that if, perish the thought, I were limited to only one rifle, it would likely be a .270, although many others would do just fine, including the Swede.
