I am assuming he was being facetious
Then you assume wrong. The .270 has a poor track record on larger animals - atrocious with the 130s, and merely bad with the 140s and 150s. There is a 160gr Partition that offers adequate terminal performance, but it's got a very poor BC. There are also bullets like the 180gr Weldcore that offer both a reasonable BC and excellent terminal performance, but which are not usable in a 1:10" factory rifle.
Winchester screwed the goat when they picked the twist rate initially, and the cartridge has been saddled with their mistake ever since. The .264WM with the 160 Weldcore for elk and the 130gr Accubond for smaller stuff trounces it. Even the Creedmoor is better.
