Ive hunted with both. Not much of a difference between a 30-06 and a 270. Compare a cartage from each side by side and you will see. 30-06 has slightly larger diameter in fact they are so close a 270 shell will seat in a 30-06 chamber, not perfectly tight i sure wouldn't recommend attempting to fire it. but not that much difference. Thought it was odd that 30-06 would get the job done but a 270 would only wound an elk. I believe its all about shot placement. a .22 would get the job done if it was placed perfectly.
