Rich some day you aught to try that M70 264 Featherweight on deer. Max velocity from the 22" FWT barrel might be about the same as your 270 (with similar bullet weights), but the 264's twist rate is 10% faster (1 in 9 versus 1 in 10 for the 270). The increased rpm’s and centrifugal force effect on the bullet when it strikes make it a deadly gun on whitetails and similar game. I've used a 264 Featherweight and I'm speaking from hunting experience. The muzzle blast wasn’t factor for me with the few shots taken while hunting.
