Heavy and good bullets in a .270 will do anything a 30-06 will do. I’m not following the guides logic unless he is referencing a lot of the soft pointed bullets that fail before they reach vitals. If I were chasing an antlered horse I think I would probably want something more in the 35 whelen category, but of the stuff that’s readily available I would just flip jump right on up a whole power class to a 338
If I were in the same situation I would use it as an excuse to get a 338. I agree, if your going to get another rifle for sake of having a larger caliber you might as well step up to the next weight class.
