No expert, but have had an expert gunsmith make several guns for me/family. I would think the 270 action would not be able to hold a larger brass case.
I know you can take a .300 WBY and make it hold an 8mm case. Essentially a 7STW. 8mm casing / 7mm bullet. There are commercially produced ammo for this as well.
800 yds is a long damn shot on a deer. You will also need to look at the terminal ballistics for your bullets at that range. You are entering an ethical gray area at that distance. SO...pucker up.

Sorry, didn't explain enough. Not trying to hunt anymore, this is just targets. Buck fever broke after I got out of active service, can't get it back
