I used a .308 exclusively until I started hunting in griz country then stepped up to a .35 Whelen after a brief miserable experience with a .338 WM. Now, my .308 is loaded with frangible 140 gr Barnes MPG (aka Varmint Grenade big brother) for the occasional coyote. Very accurate and explosive results while not worrying about the neighbors a mile away. Maybe one day I’ll press it back into big game service. As for the .270, just never felt the love...
