Unless you are emotionally invested in this rifle, sell it and move on.
Solving puzzles just to solve puzzles can become very expensive.

The rifle is SPF to my brother. But since he wants it for my nephew, I don’t mind giving the young lad a good starting point for deer season.

Yeah, that’s a solid suggestion. It would be worth checking out the 150-grain loads as well. I’ve just never bothered to do that with a .270.

There is a guy who writes in the gun magazines, John Barsness, he posts as Mule Deer at 24HCF. I believe that I read that he has consistently had better accuracy from the 150gr bullets from a 270 over the years. If I find the link to the thread I will send it to you.
