The op says maybe elk some day. Sorry a 243 might kill an elk but as far as I am concerned a 243 on elk is as unethical as one can get. I shot a 308 for 30 yrs, shot two elk with it, a few moose & lots of deer. Can't go wrong with either but if you want to shoot heavies the 308 is better. It comes in a neat short lightweight package & ammo is as plentiful as grass. As one other said, fit is important. If it doesn't fit you it will hurt. Plain & simple. Nothing wrong with a 270 either.
