9 times out of 10, that's probably true. On that 10th time, who knows, that little bit of extra power from the .270 might make a difference, and that's more likely if we're talking about a .223. I won't criticize anyone for using a legal gun, but I personally would go up a little bit (just bought a 7-08 for such things).
