For whitetail. Go to gander or Dicks or whatever bigbox (even wally world) and buy a box of Winchester, a box of Remington and a box of Federal plain jane ammo I would buy 130 grain, but you can try 150's too. now go find a place and take an after noon and shoot it. carefully, taking 15 minutes between 3 or 5 shot groups. For a hunting gun a 3 shot group is going togive you a better idea what the rifle will do from a cold barrel. Chances are one of the loads will shoot a good deal better in your gun. Go back and buy a couple more boxes of that ammo and you are set.

A 270 is not a marginal caliber for deer and it does not need the help of the triple delux bullet. If you are worried about bullet construction, buy the Federal load with the Nosler Partition. It will NOT fail. period.

Shoot the rifle enough to be comfortable with it. Shoot 6 to 8 boxes of ammo before season and if you are able to see a deer, you will eat venison for Thanksgiving.
