If I didnt own a .270 it would be either a .308 or a 30/06 for eggzachary the same reasons.
pick your load for task at hand and you simply will not look back,take out the front wheels and animals will pile up and go nowhere..... job done.

If you shoot for the front legs then a number of cartridges will do the job but if you are a meat hunter like me and go for the lungs then I would go 30/06 then 270 for the shock power. At the longer distances with anything slow your going to need a dog to find a lot of them. Just my opinion
