I'm a 30-06 slut, but also consider the 308 and 270 to be in the exact same ballpark. Two of the finest (and most successful) hunters I've ever known used 270's - my uncle, and a neighbor, who was a retired "Government Trapper", in the olden days. Vic used his old 270 up until just a year before his death on everything - coyotes, cougar, deer, antelope, bear, elk - whatever! He used it 'til it had NO bluing, and the stock resembled an OLD cedar fence post. But he brought home an elk damn near every year. Probably since the late '40's!
I've always been a curmudgeon - now I'm an old curmudgeon. ~Molɔ̀ːn Labé Skýla~
