Your rifle will let you know what weight it likes best and handloading manuals are full of reliable safe beginning loads.
My sentiments exactly. I have been using my 270 for 50 years, most of that time using 130gr bronze points then Nosler BT's. Eventually went to the 140 gr bullets for a little extra edge on elk. Great caliber, I have used others, 7mm mag, '06, 375 H&H, 44 mag, 257 Bob, 243 but always go back to my 270. That rifle has put a LOT of meat on the table.
