Not if you are loading them to the same pressure.
The 25-06 with the 75gr hp, (lightest regular cup and core) using IMR4064 will hit 3700 fps at book recipes. With a 120gr, 3000 fps is doable with several powders, again at book recipes.
The 270W using 90gr hp, max book is barely over 3500 fps. With 130s, 3100fps but at 2k higher pressure. With 150s it's pedestrian.

There isn't any magic in the 270 Win.

You might wanna take a look at Barnes data. 110 Barnes in a 24” 270 will run 3500 fps, 95s over 3600 and 85s over 3800.
That 110 at 3500 from a 270 will make a 257 Weatherby obsolete.

Well there you have it.

And the 80gr ttsx will do 3800 out of a 25-06. What's your point? Cherry picking to make your point?
