My 270 rifles drive 140 grain factory stuff out the muzzle at about 2900-2950fps. My 7mm08 is only 50-100 fps slower.
There is no difference between them in the field as far as I can tell.
Even Jack O'Connor who loved the 270,was a great admirer of the 7x57 with handloads. He lived before the 7mm-08 was a factory round but his 7x57 handloads were about identical to the modern 7mm-08.
You will find that the 7mm-08 does in fact do most anything in a short action that the 270 will do. Get one and fill an ark.
