I suspect that has to do with the particular suppressors, rather than a suppressor on a 270 per se. I've been around a suppressed rifle in a large 30 cal burning about 100 grains of powder and it was impressively quiet.

No suppressor can quiet the supersonic crack of the projectile traveling downrange.
