Default RE: 308 or 270

Dang, there are sure a lot of .270 "non-fans" on here.
Why is that?

I own both and have recently been faced with the same decision on a new rifle.

I thought I had my mind made up on a bull barrel .308 until I tried to place the order and the rifle in question is out of stock- everywhere.
So with that delay I'm back to flipping the coin between the two calibers.

I've killed many a deer,yote & pig with my .270 so I have much confidence in the caliber.

When I compare ballistics it is hard to get away from the flatter-ness (new word) of the 130 .270 compared to the 150 .308 when looking at long ranges.

Is the .308 inherently more accurate?
