130

Remington Core Lokt in 130 grain would be my choice if it will shoot accurately in your gun.

I reload for my 270 and use a 130 gr Hornady spire point. That is a soft nose bullet. Very effective on deer.

Good choice of caliber.
The 270 shoots fast and flat, has plenty of power for any North American game, doesn't bust your shoulder, or give you scope "ring around the eye". Ammo is usually available, and is reasonable in price.

My experience shows that the 130 grain bullet from a 270 will usually go clear through a deer. Best shoot its head off if you want any meat left.

All the ying and yang about bullet types etc is in vain anyway. The trick is to learn to hit the target with whatever you decide to use. Do plenty of shooting before the hunt.

Good luck in the hunt.
