I've had a whole lot of hunters bring a 270 for the hunt. Many used my 375HH for the bigger game as you plan to do.

Several were not thrilled with the lack of blood for followup tracking, and switched to the 375HH for the remainder of their hunting. Herd animals as you know depart in a cloud of dust and leave little or nothing to follow but 1000's of tracks as the herd departs.

That seems to be the one factor that limits its following and greater level of success in RSA for the herd species. Minimal blood for the follow up tracking.

The bullets available are improving so much every few years that a gun like the 270 or 25/06 today is much different then they were 20 years ago. This is especially true for the 30/06 and 375HH. Newer powders and projectiles have provided these two old cartridges with a rebirth of sorts.
