I am going to reload for .270Win with 140grain Accubond. I have never handloaded this caliber and wonder which powder/primer combination works great in this caliber.
I am looking into h4350.
 
I loaded those bullets for my son this year, 59 gr of H4831sc and a CCI magnum primer gave me 3000 fps over the chrony and it was plenty accurate. He then proceeded to lose them two days before we left on our hunt and I didn't have any left so he used 130 gr TSX's.
 
If I was to pick a powder and bullet combo to start loading a 270 Win, it would be H4831sc and the 140 gr. Nosler Accubond.

A close second would be...RL19 under 150 gr. Nosler Partitions.

I have used both H4350 and 4831SC. My A-bolt likes the H4350 a little better. The hunting load is 48.6 gr of H4350 behind the 150 gr Partition.

The most accurate round is the 150 gr Nosler BT with 49 gr of H4350.

I load for three different 270's, Two are remingtons and the the third is a winchester. The remingtons have 22 inch barrels and like 140gr Hornady BTSP with CCI 200 primers and 55 grains of IMR 4831. The winchester has a 21 inch barrel and likes the same setup but with 54 grains. All 3 shoot sub 3/4" groups @ 100. All three are seated at 8 thousandths off the lands. The bullet is reliable and does a really good job on all species in the deer family. Check the Ballistics. The 140 BT flies near the same as 130 sp and hits near the same as 150, best of both worlds IMHO.

I just started reloading for my 270 winchester using the remington 100 grain PSP bulk bullets and Winchester 760 powder and winchester WLR primers. I started at the minimum of 50.4 (winchester manual) and approached up to 55.0 grains the 55 gr load hits 3/4" groups at 100 yards. The maximum is 56.0 grains according to the winchester manual.

Hope this helps
 
I load for my hunting buddy's .270 Win. and he got good results with a load similar to Vaders... 55.0 gr of IMR 4831, CCI 200 primers, WW brass, and 140 Nosler AccuBonds. His rifle is a Browning A-bolt with a 22" barrel and we chrony'd the load right at 3000 fps with good accuracy.
 
I worked up a load using the 140 gr Nosler Accubonds this summer. I was using Remington Large Rifle Magnum Primers, Winchester Brass and IMR 4350 Powder. Very accurate in my Tikka with 5 shot groups around 1" at 100 yds.
 
My SS ADL 700, 270 likes H4350 better as well it will shoot 4831 in 1 1/2 and better velocity but I love the 1/2 groups and just shy 3000fps that 4350 gives me.
I alway load for accuracy vs velocity, feed it what it wants and you will be fine.
I also tries RL-22 with poor accuracy results but awsome velocity.
