I’d never slight a man carrying a 270, especially if he was a hunter…
The problem w/ the .270 Win is... < some > people seem to feel that they need more.
... and game does not.

I see you said 'some' so...
Having killed deer with a 44 handgun and even the Anemic 30-30 I know it doesn't take a canon to kill deer.
Speaking for myself only, I like FLAT shooters -- NOT for the power -- for the trajectory. Since '95 at least I've hunted
leases and private land that have cutovers or pastures so.... I refuse to limit myself to short ranged cartridges.
Even at that - I'm NOT being smart - More power does not kill deer MORE dead. Flat trajectories make hitting your
target easier at distance.
