Here's some more info from the chap that I learned about these reduced loads from...
I've loaded many a cartridge for kids to use...in many calibers
with the 270 being one...
Standard charge is around 30 grains of 4198....or can work up slightly higher to get the velocity and accuracy you want.
Cast bullet load manuals will give you lots of options...
and even tho, they are for cast bullets, the pressures of these loads
are WAAAAAY below SAAMI specs...
30 grains of 4198, prevent a double charge if one is the type
that doesn't pay attention to what they are doing...
IMR 4198 or H 4198 are pretty interchangeable for this application, as is AR2207 and RE7
What bullet weight you choose doesn't matter...
30 grains of 4198, turn most standard calibers into the equivalent of a 30/30.
at a 30/30s ball park speeds... using bullets that were designed for these lower impact velocities work well, ie 30/30 bullets in 308 or 3006, 6.5 Grendel bullets in 260 rem and 6.5CM, or even varmint bullets can work well on medium game when used at lower velocities.
still being a 200 yd deer load....
