Deer won't be able to tell the difference and at that range the .270 trajectory really has no advantage in terms of ballistics over the .30-06 and the '06 has no real penetration advantage over the .270. The '06 could also be argued to better serve for elk as well, even though a well placed .270 will do the job, too.

Afterthought: '06 might perform better through brush, too.
