Dogger, I run two 270's; the first since 1978 (Ruger 77) - handload the 140 Hornady Interlock and H4831sc in that one. My other is a custom barreled pre-64 M70FW - I shoot a handload using the 130 grain Hornady Interlock and H4831sc in that one. Either will get the job done - just buy yourself one and enjoy hunting with it - mild recoil, flat shooting, and I never saw anyplace I go out of factory ammo during the past year (while I was trying to find some 308 WIN ammo).
