I remember reading an article by a guy who was a government shooter who kept elk herds in check. His go-to caliber was the 270. Just my .02.

Despite the fact the Govt. uses the .270 Win, it is still an excellent cartridge.

My 270 always does job 7mm magnum way to much gun for deer and recoil. I have friend used one on moose didn’t do the job. I have another friend lost deer to 25-06 so it happens. I like the 270 my 243 and the 7-08 all have done the job no need for anything else on mullies or white tails or pigs and coyotes.

I don't and never did like the 270 but I really like the 7mmRM so no question in my mind. The 7mmRM is a step up and handles bigger critters better at the cost of more recoil. Nothing's free.
