the 270 win is ideal for hunting FOR ME, but I'm scared of coming across a Grizzly..

... and Jack (O'Connor) killed his only 2 Grizzlies (as far as I could find out) with the 270.

The only O'Connor work I have is big game animals of North america, in it he writes "As I count up, I can remember shooting eight grizzlies, helping to shoot two, and being in on the death of two more. I have shot or helped to shoot eight with a. 30/06, one with a. 270 and one with a. 300 Weatherby magnum.... Both of the allied Alaska brown bears I have killed were taken with a. 375 magnum."

So apparently JOC did not feel very confident in the 270.

That would be a great choice, and the most common sense approach, but unfortunately this is Canada and common sense is often illegal.
