I have used the 270 a lot, in fact it was the second big game rifle I owned. I also was a follower of Cactus Jack and loaded my rifle hot with 130 gr. Sierra Prohunters. Pretty destructive as a close range east Texas deer rifle but as a coyote and jackrabbit rifle it was awesome! I took my first Mule deer with it and just generally shot it a lot. Till the barrel went bad anyway. I traded it for a new Ithaca shotgun and a well worn M28 Smith & Wesson. Wish I had kept it and had it rebarreled, a 1972 Remington BDL that was a born tackdriver. After that I picked up a custom Mauser in 270 and my Springfield 30-06 was finally finished after 6 years I used them for much of my Wyoming hunting. No matter what new cartridges come out those two rounds can still do it all.
