I just want to re-iterate that
I like the .270WIN,
BUT that is not necessarily his best option.
Folks get so attached to their calibers ......
The important part of my post was this:

....... with modern bullets and a handloading set-up, the caliber chosen is so much less important than choosing to handload in the first place.
If you are on a budget, handload for whatever used medium bored centerfire bolt action of reasonably common caliber you can get a good deal on. Then wear it out in an attempt to "shoot up to it"- get good enough that you can shoot it from field positions, under time pressure, as well as you can shoot it from a bench.
