I'm in the "30-06 is king camp" but the 270 has been a favorite for decades. I've owned more 270s than any other chambering but I'm beginning to think it misses the boat with twist. I like 140s and 150s in the 270 and I think a 1/9 would be a better fit than the standard 1/10. This is where the 280 has an advantage. If I built another 270, it would be with a 1/9. If I were advising one of my sons for a rifle for deer hunting I would be hard pressed not to favor the 308 though, it seems to check all of the boxes and can stretch beyond deer if the opportunity exists. I think a lot of the older designed cartridges are twisted just a bit slow, with new and similar cartridges taking advantage of speedier twists ie...6.5CM v 260R, 6mmCM v 243 & 280AI v 270W.
