the 270 shouldnt have exessive recoil as log as you dont go heavy in bullet weight if you stay with a 130 gr load their will be little felt recoil and more than enough bullet for deer size game my best advice in bullets for you try to find federal fusion ammo ive loaded my own for years and im hear to tell you they are unbeatable right off the shelf you wont ever shoot anything but i garrantee it,good luck
