I have both calibers.
The .270 choice of bullets are generally 130, 140 or 150 grains.

The .30-06 has choices from 150 up to 220 grains and you even can shoot 110 grains with the right loads.

Every rifle has preferences. My 270 is most accurate with 130 grain bullets.

Fortunately, my 30-06 is most accurate with 175 and 180 grain bullets.

That makes it easy for choices on what to carry since both are accurate shooters.

If I need bigger and heavier bullet loads, I take the .30-06. For deer and such, the .270 is great.
