Bullet choice 270wsm

I've been reloading different bullets for my 270wsm. I'm trying to find what will work best for the small deer here in North Carolina. What is your bullet of choice for deer 100-175lbs. My next bullet i'm reloading will be a 130 grain Winchester powerpoint, i've read that i'll get good expansion especially loaded around 3300fps.

I have a Savage in .270 WSM and the only bullet that gives me decent accuracy is a Remington 130gr Cor-Lok. I have tried Nosler, Hornady, Speer and Sierra in 130 and 140gr. No groups near an inch at 100 yards. The Cor-lok delivered 0.9" 3-shot group.
