The 270 is NOT the ne-plus-ultra of hunting cartridges.
Don't want to argue with you either but here in Wisconsin and many other areas it is considered to be a really great deer cartridge due to the bullet being plenty enough for deer, good available speed, ballistic coefficient, SD, and not bad on recoil. If it isn't one of the great deer cartridges I'm not sure what else it would be good for. It's not a great choice for varmiting and certainly there are better choices for bigger game.
