this is a trick question what range are you shots past 300 i would take the 270 but i hut them and kill them with a 270 and my favorite 280 remington and 3 wjth a custon 7x57 i will say this i do most of my hunting witha 300 weatherby thes day had a 340 built on a pre 64 sent it down the road to much recoil for what you get i will say this i have never had a 270 in my hand whishing i had a 30-06 which i did kill 4 with in all my chasing the things but with the 280 and 270 have i passed up shots and never thought if i had a 30-06 i would take the shot but sure missed my 300 weatherby with a 200 grain nosler more than once
