I have a reduced, cast-bullet load for my .375 H&H that uses a 255-grain gascheck bullet and 60 grains of H4831 with a 1/10 grain puff of cotton over the powder to keep it in place. It shoots about as well as a full-charge load, gives 1900 FPS MV, and could be used for deer huinting as well as plinking/target shooting. Recoil is down around the .30/' 06 level. I never down-loaded a .270, but there' s no reason you couldn' t do just as well with it.
