If it helps try googling 270 barrel length v velocity and see what comes up and do some research as to whether you think it is worth doing and just how much performance you will lose.
But it seems to me the 308 appears to be the best choice for what you are thinking of doing.

Yes I agree .308 would be my choice 270 needs a longer barrel to finnish burning their powder and they kick like a mule for what they are throwing around.
