I sold my 270 when I moved to the Northeast where shotguns/bows were the norm for deer hunting. When I moved back to Texas, I got a 6.5CM because it promised similar performance on deer with less recoil. I have found both to be true against deer (Axis and Whitetail). My hunting buddy uses a 270 and knocks them down as well.
Bottom Line: 1) if I had a 270 I wouldn't sell it for something "better".
2) I wouldn't buy one unless something bigger than deer was on my list. There is no reason to have the excess recoil just to knock down a deer or hog. Frankly, my wife's 243 is plenty.
