The managed recoil loads reduce calculated recoil by about half, and felt recoil more than that. They use specially engineered bullets to match the velocity.

I've been very happy with either the blue dot loads (for small cases, like my kid's 223), or using the Hodgdon 4895 youth data. Both my boy and my wife ran a hundred rounds or so through their rifles before the season, and it really, REALLY improved their confidence and skill. Since they were after elk, the shot full-house loads in the field. HTH, Dutch.

I do not know if the newest Speer manuals still include this data, but my #10 Speer lists reduced loads for most of the popular rifle cartridges, including 270 Win.

To make a near clone of the Remington reduced factory load, try a 110 gr. Sierra ProHunter SP over 39 grs. H4895 for 2700 fps. About 8 ft-lbs recoil in a 8.5 lb rifle, and still packs 1200 ft-lbs at 200 yards.

Thanks for all of the replies.
