Just like most people who hunt with a .30-06 settle on 150, 165, and 180 grain bullets.

Yes there are more bullets in .308 than .277, that has never been a point that I've missed. However, when you take all the match bullets, bullets requiring faster than 1;10 twist rate, FMJ, and bullets designed for lever actions in tube magazines the gap narrows considerably when it comes to hunting bullets .277 vs .308. The .270 Win has been in the top five sales of reloading dies according to RCBS, and top five in cartridge sales according to Federal for the last few years. I think the .270 holds its own even with its limited bullet selection.
