If I had a 270 WSM, my main reason to handload would be to assure myself longterm of easily available ammo. I'm not sure yet which (or any) of the WSM's will be here long term. Buy #100 pieces of brass and you'll have a lifetime supply. I tell new handloaders NOT to expect to save money by handloading because you'll find themselves shooting more.
I dont expect to save anything...it would really be for load development and longterm like you stated. I thought about dumping the wsm but I hate to get rid of a nice gun. The action is so smooth on the browning A bolt.

I hand load my 270wsm Abolt
I would have to look at my load recipe and COAL to let you know what works in my gun, but it might not work in yours. I use RL19 powder in mine.
Depending on the brass, it will not last a lifetime. You have to develop the load which means shooting 3 shot groups minimum with different powder weights in half grain increments. Next you have to play with the bullet seating. Which is more 3 shot minimum groups until you find the one your gun likes.
Some Federal cases wont hold a primer anymore after 4-5 shots in my experience and that brass has to be thrown away.
