The 270 packs more powder than a 308.
A 270 is roughtly a necked-down 30-06.
You will get really good penetration with the 270 but not nearly as much power as with a belted magnum cartridge.
So you may need to do some hiking and tracking to follow the blood trail. If you're on horseback that is no big problem. If not it could be a really big problem.
