I have been shooting a Browning A-bolt chambered in .270 basically my entire life. We have recently picked up a new hunting lease in the South LA marshes that will allow for fairly long shots late in the year once the marsh begins to fall from the freeze.. I missed two deer at approximately 300 yards this year with my .270.

Honestly, .270 is pretty dang sufficient for this shot. But, it's a lot harder shot than a lot of people expect.

I bought a 270wsm for pipelines, just to shoot a little bit flatter....i would fully expect it to be fine at 300-400...if i am.
