First, I believe the 270 Winchester is a fine elk rifle when the shooter does his part and you use good bullets. I would not have hesitated to use it on any of the elk I've killed over the last 20 plus years except for one.
Now for your question: It really depends on how well you handle recoil. I shot a Browning A-Bolt in 300 Win Mag for many of those elk, and some deer, and last year I sold it. I was just tired of my shoulder killing me after only 3 or 4 shots at the range. If you don't mind recoil it is a fine round in my opinion. The .338 Win Mag is a gun I've gotten to shoot a little over the years and I liked everything about it except the recoil. It shoots a heavy bullet pretty fast, and elk that I've seen shot with them we never recovered a bullet from due to complete penetration. The 7mm Rem Mag would be my choice of those you list. Recoil is very managable, it is flat shooting, and you have a good choice of bullet weights to choose from.
