I would choose either the 130 or 150 gr SP bullets like most of the recommendations. I use the 150 grainers year after year and have no problem. If I get a shot, I usually get a deer.
Choose whichever cartridge you lean toward and take the rifle to the range and sight the scope in. I usually sight it in at 2" high at 100 yds. Next, I would buy a box or two of each and take the rifle to the range and see how EACH shoots in your gun.
You made a good choice of rifles and scope. I have not done vast amounts of shooting of the 270 in the last few years. Usually take it out in the late summer/early fall and shoot some paper to confirm that the scope settings are still good. I have been pretty much leaning toward using a handgun these days for whitetail unless I'm hunting very open woods or fields.
