It would be worth a try, but I think case capacity will become an issue. Looking at Hodgdon data I would look to try imr4451. Shows good density and vel.
Hammer Hunter in 270?

Now you are talking! That is the twist that a 27 cal should be? I am assuming you ate shooting long range? You can shoot up to the 156g Hammer Hunter. I think that would be a great bullet for the 270 wby.

Sadly I don't have a chrony. 
I don't know where I'm at as far as velocity. I'm using 60gr of h4831 and Winchester primers. 22 inch barrel with a vg6 muzzle brake

Anybody have a guess as to what the velocity should be with this load?

I kind of lost track of which bullet, if it was the 113, I'd guess you'd scare 3100 fps, and it's a moderate load.

I'm using the 117 sledgehammers.

.It's actually compressed just a little bit.

Moderate meaning you're not likely to have any issues. You should get good case life, reliable performance, etc. A good family car kind of load.
H4831 is kind of the standard .270 load that everything else is judged against. When I loaded for my son in law this summer it's what I picked.
Remind me are you using the short cut version.
