∙ 12y agoThe .270 Winchester is a great rifle for medium sized game such as white tailed deer and wild hogs. It can be used for larger game like Elk however a larger caliber (.30 or larger) is preferred. The .270 is a necked-down 30-06 meaning that the powder charge is the same however the bullet is a smaller diameter which allows it to have a flatter trajectory. Personally I love the .270 especially at very long distance.

General rule of thumb is that the best caliber is the one which best suits you. Of the two, .270 would be the more powerful round. Both are substantial for hunting something like deer, although the .243 is probably better suited for the experienced hunter, whereas the .270 would be a little more forgiving to the novice hunter. The .270 is a necked down .30-06, and the .243 is a necked down .308.
