Both cartridges are capable deer and elk rifles.
I have used a 3" high at 100 yard zero for 40 years with my 270 shooting 140 gr Hornady BTSP.
I have always felt that the 270 is really overkill on deer. On elk I have never felt under gunned in any situation.
As far as the 308 goes. I don't have one but it has always been a respectable round. I don't feel it is superior to the 270 in any ballistic way. I could see how a short action ultra light rifle might be easier to carry than let's say a pre 64 winchester 270 might be. That would be the only advantage.
Like I said both are capable.
A final word on this video. These guys know nothing of what they are talking about.
they need to stick to stuff they know which isn't much.
