SU-I'd have no issue hunting deer/lopes the rest of my life with either of them. We've taken so much game at short to long range with the 6 aught that for me it's awfully tough to beat.
For me, I see that I can shoot end to end on deer/lopes with it and if it'll do that then what else do I need?
4 me the best thing I like about a .270 is for a mtn rifle and a elk/deer rifle in something that's fairly lightweight. If I just hunted deer out west I could use a 6/06 no problemo. If I were to be a deer hunter in the east/midwest etc where the shots were closer I could take a good 243 (with a 100 horn rn) and never look back.
Bottom line, I feel that for the most part we use way more round than's needed. Trucks as well and other things I supose also.
Not sure if that answers your Q or not?
I do love my 6/06 that's for sure.
