I don't understand why anyone would care what firearms or cartridges another person uses, as long as it doesn't directly impact them in negative manner. Heck, I don't care if most other people take their next breath, much less what firearm or cartridge they favor, as they are inconsequential to me.
I've shot an elk or 2 with the 270 and they died promptly. I'm pretty sure that those elk would have died just as quickly if I'd shot them with a different cartridge, just as long as I was using a properly constructed bullet and made the same bullet placement.
I like to shoot and am curious about new cartridges, so despite having a couple dozen rifles chambered for other 6.5mm bore cartridges, I bought a Weatherby Vanguard2 in 6.5 Creedmoor in 02/14. After shooting the 6.5 Creedmoor for a bit, I decided that for my needs it didn't do anything that those other rifles chambered for 6.5mm bore cartridges didn't do equally well. Curiously, I find myself with 12 more rifle chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor. Lots of redundancy in my gun room.

Next the only really enlightening fact of this whole thread is that Kirk Stovall aka Shrapnel aka Chuck Norris of MT DOES not own a SAKO L61R Deluxe chambered for 264 Win Mag. Damned if I don't see and smell some profit taking opportunity here...… MB
