I used a .270 for years hunting deer and elk. I can assure you they are effective for distances up to 400 yards. Also, read about Jack O'Conner who was a proponent of the .270 for hunting. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_OConnor_(American_writer)

I don't doubt the .270 is very capable.

Here in the Yukon, it illegal to use anything less than 300 caliber for Bison.
