Well said Lark. I shoot a Winchester 70 from 1951. I like 150 Power Points for everything. 2.5 in. high at 100 yds. and close to dead on at 250 yds. If I so choose to shoot out to 300 which I have never needed on an animal I'm just a few inches low.
Even though I have other rifles, that old .270 seems to be used, especially for elk.
I have 2 Remington 600s in 6mm Remington. I think that cartridge is perfect for Coues.
I also like the .270 Winchester but think it's too much gun and it doesn't shoot any flatter.
I might sell one of the 6mms though
