Back to the bench for the 270

Well I have the 3x9 Leupold Vari-X IIc mounted on my old Reminton model 700 BDL 270 winchester. And I have the bipod mounted on the front swivel stud. AND I have an itch to shoot. SO I am thinking about reloading for this little gem again (even though I have not sighted it in yet) But here is my problem.

270 Cal. 130 Gr. Spitzer Ballistic Tip
Ballistics B.C. .433
S.D. .242
OAL: 1.220"

270 Cal. 140 Gr. Spitzer Ballistic Tip
Ballistics B.C. .456
S.D. .261

270 Cal. 150 Gr. Spitzer Ballistic Tip
Ballistics B.C. .496
S.D. .279
OAL: 1.350"

270 Cal 130gr Spitzer AccuBond
Ballistics B.C. .435
S.D. .242
OAL. 1.245"

270 cal. 140gr Spitzer AccuBond
Ballistics B.C. .496
S.D. .261
OAL: 1.310"

I am LEANING towards the 140grain accubond, but I need opinions here. My 270 shoots factory 130gr corelokts into some pretty decent groups (or did before my old scope decided to give up on me.) However I am looking for a load that is a "toolbox" load. You know has a little something for everything? I was thinking the other day. I am wanting to get more predator hunting in, I already hunt whitetail, mule deer, and hog, and there is an off chance that someday get to go throw lead at an elk. By far I will be shooting at more whitetail and perhaps hog than anything else. SOOOOOOO opinions PLEASE?

Thanks in advance (Yeah I know I asked about this a few years back)

Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun. - Ecclesiastes 8:15 KJV

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
