I haven't shot many factory .270 loads in a long time but when I clocked some of them the velocity was about the same as the swede. In fact almost identical to the hot RWS and Norma loads. Not sure what you would get velocity wise now.

Ones is 121 years old and the other about 87 years old both classics. But if you set out to design the perfect deer cartridge I think it would look a lot like the swede. If you wanted the ultimate deer/antelope cartridge it would look like a .270 win.

Hows that for an excuse to own both?
