I tried it last summer. Best group was in the middle of the charge range. I used 130 NBT's, rp brass, win primers.
Best group was 1/2 inch at 100 yards. It just didn't have much kick and felt really light. Also the poi was low so I went back to imr 4064.

I used it for a friends guns. He gets great groups abut only 2800fps with 130gr sierra. I kinda expect more out of my 270's. I personally like IMR4350 54gr for 130gr pill.

I use H4831 for .270
You won't get your FPS using Varget for a .270

I'm a big fan of the H4831SC. It throws better in a powder measure than regular H4831.
