it all depends on your style of rifle more than anything. If you want stopping power the edge goes to the 308 but only slightly. a 270 will shoot more accurately at a longer range though.( by that i mean over 600 yards!) for me i think the 270 is better

8mm mauser or 308 or 270 rifle which nis better?
Depends on your definition of better. All 3 are capable of taking any game found in North America. The 8mm Mauser carries a little more energy than the .308. The .308 may have an edge in accuracy. The .270 is basically the 30-06 necked down to .27 caliber, shoots flatter, due to higher velocity. This is one of those Ford/ Chevy/ Dodge discussions.

Which rifle caliber is better for a bolt action rifle a 243 or a 270?
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.
What is more powerful a 270 calibre or 308 calibre?
In my opinion theyre fairly close to each other. Theyre both based on the 30-06 cartridge case. The 270 shoots lighter bullets at higher velocities but the 308 can shoot heavier bullets. I would base a choice depending on the application.
