I agree with a lot of stuff that has been posted on here. I use a .270 and love it, but sometimes I wish it was a .30-06. My brother has the .30-06, they kick the same (both are in Remington 700 BDL rifles) but the 30-06 has a wider selection of bullet weights and designs, especially since we reload our own ammo, and the 30-06 can be safely loaded to shoot a little faster. Not a whole lot ~100-200fps. Does it make a difference? Probably not. The 7mm will shoot out there a little farther, but for all the farther we shoot, 400yds max, it's not needed.
Not trying to burn anyone else down here, I don't like using a 243 on deer, just in case you aren't the best shooter in 3 counties and you don't get that good shot, you may just wound the thing and lose it. I like the safety factor in there.
Just my 2 cents, I like the 30-06 a little better, the 270 is still a good cartridge though and can't really fault it at all and if you plan on shooting any distance it is a good round. Can't go wrong with either one for 100 to 400yds. I would stay away from these new whiz bang super short magnum things. Stick with something that has been there a while.

I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery. I credit my parents for instilling a lot of good values, a respect for learning, a knowledge of various skills and a little knowledge of farming in me, amo
