When I lived in AK, I owned a 270, 30-06, and a 7Mag. I did all my hunting with the 270 because I was most accurate with that particular rifle/caliber combination. I took 2 moose, a Dall sheep, and several caribou, all with 1 shot, and all with a 150gr Nosler Partition handloads. It ain't the gun, it's where you hit em' and what (bullet)you hit em' with. Use your 270 with a bullet suited for the game you are hunting and have a great hunt.
