OR.....
I prefer 4198 over the reduced 4895 loads....
I've loaded many a cartridge for kids to use...in many calibers
with the 270 being one...
Standard charge is 30 grains of 4198....
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.
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...
still being a 200 yds deer load....
25 plus years has taught me that...
and besides loading these loads for kids, I often carry them afield myself
since I hunt in a wooded area, where 30/30 ranges are about what you get.
Best of Luck on your endeavor...
