Hand loads for .270

[atitagain]

Okay fellas, I need to pick yer brains.

   A friend and I are going on a Caribou hunt this fall, and I just found out that he no longer has a high powered rifle. I don't want to see him take a chance with a once in a lifetime hunt, with just a i5 year old muzzle loader.
  Therefore, I am going to give him my .270 Handi as an early birthday gift.
   I have been trying to work up a good hand load for it, and was wondering if you guys might share some of your favorite loads? Powders? Bullet heights? What type of accuracy should I expect with this gun?  All my others shoot well, but this is the first time to play with the .270.
Or is there a good factory that you like??
Any help will be a great help.

Thanks

The Nosler 150gr Partition shoots pretty good in the 270 Ultracomp I'm working with using IMR7828, working on IMR4350 next, just need another range visit, but turkey season and rain has been slowing me down on range trips!!

i'd recommend a Hornady bullet of either 130 or 140 gr's in a Spire Point configuration to start.   i'd use a Win' primer and  H-4831SC as my starting powder unless working with some IMR 4350 that i already had at home.    i prefer Rem' brass, but others prefer Win'.   i prefer the Rem' because usually it is heavier.   

i'd adjust the cartridge-overall-length (bullet seating depth) when starting out on a load to see if it can be improved with my first choice of components before buying other, different components.   bullet seating depth is a very important parameter when chasing accuracy.

the .270 will get it done with a good bullet like the Hornady spire point.

take care and let us know,
