Great cartridge, recoil on a H&H is very manageable. I think you will be surprised, more of a push as compared the the quicker recoil/ jump of let's say a .300 Win Mag. I hunted with a H&H for years and it anchored everything quick, Esspecialy Elk. Back then I used the 300gr Hornady BTSP. I did take one bear with the 270 Hornady. Then I changed to the 260gr Ballistic tip for a bit before for I switched completly over to the .375 Ultra Magnum and the 260gr Accubond.
