It's left hand verses right hand to my way of thinking, as both are very fine calibers for light to medium big game animals in the deer family, why even elk with a premium bullet.
However, I myself wouldn't hunt bear with either of those calibers~! Should something go south, I would want something in my hands besides a .270 or 280 going after a wounded bear.
I have to much respect for all bears and have seen more than once a so called 250 pound bear end up being a 400 pound plus bruin. I like a medium bore in the .338 or .358 caliber and have no problem with the .444 or 45/70 either. Those are my black bear calibers of choice.
