Head shots are dead small or large. I think the 270 is a great gun just a little small when you start to go up to something like a Elk. Seen too many people just punch little holes not knock the animal down even with a well placed shot. Happens with the 06 too but not as often.
Then again I have a very old hunting book I got from my grandfather that tells you how to hunt deer with a 22 so you don't waste any of the meat.
Personal choice is 130gr for Whitetail, 150gr Mule deer and 180gr for Elk. This works for me and I'll still hunt with family and friends shooting 243's up 7mm. It works for them.
