you gentlemen must hunt in a far different world,
Ive used everything from a 257 roberts to a 62 caliber front loader, they all worked just fine!
while I prefer a 35 whelen over a 270 if your restricted to the 30/06 case family
, Ive had zero problems using a 270 on deer Ive used it on,
and its certainly been working well for decades,
for one of my hunting partners, who has used it in a ruger #1 for over 45 years.

given a choice Ill grab a 340 wby or a 375 H&H almost every time
but Id certainly feel well equipped with a 450 marlin, or 30/06 BLR , or a browning 78 single shot in 300 wby,
and simple compensate for the cartridge being used by hunting the areas best matched to its limitations
Ive killed deer and elk with a 44 mag revolver and successfully used archery equipment, on dozens of hunts over 5 decades
surely if I can work in that limitation on range and power you can use a 270-308 win or 30/06 and put game on the ground.
