Re: 308 vs 6.5
You can use 150 or 160 gr bonded bullets in the 270 Win and hunt any table fare other than the real Eland monsters.The same could be achieved using monolithic bullets.
A .270 shooting 110 gr mono bullets or 130 gr bonded bullets is a flat shooter.
You can load up both and be sure to stop at the range before the occasion that you wish to use the other bullet weight.
For years I only had a .270 shot Eland to Springbuck with it. Used the lighter bullets for everything including Kudu, had plans to use the heavy bullets, but never got round to it - the 130 gr did it all.
Later I only had 150 gr bullets left (bought 600 130 gr and 600 150 gr) and started using the 150 gr, will never go back to 130 gr, the 150 gr .270 Win is able to do anything and only shoots less than need worry about lower out at 300 m.

Me thinks its a want, not a need, and should be treated as such.

Re: 308 vs 6.5
Its a want, buy what ever YOU WANT!
As Treeman says, you can shoot anything with your 270, no problem. I've been on many hunts with guys who own 270's and they've shot warthog, kudu and everything in between.
If springbok is the thing that you going to shoot, most of the time, grab a 243 - you wont be sorry.

Re: 308 vs 6.5
Yep, scratch the itch - you know you want to.
As stated above, the 270 will overlap the 6.5 and .308 with the right bullets. To really create some differential you need to go much smaller (6mm or less) or bigger (.338 or more). If I had a .270 and I wanted a bigger caliber I’d go .375…
