It would appear from what you're describing that you aren't getting the butt of the gun down into your shoulder pocket where it's mostly flesh when the butt pushes back against you. The modest recoil of a .270 should not cause what you're experiencing unless the butt is up too high and is hitting the bony part of your shoulder, rather than down somewhat tight in the fleshy shoulder pocket where it should always be.
