I have a buddy who has killed alot of deer and 5 elk with his .270,he feeds his the cheapest ammo available and has never lost an animal,he bang flops em.And he shoots multiple deer per year,one year in Idaho he kept going to town and buying whitetail tags,he shot 3.Remington corelokts in the 130 grain variety.I picked up a .270,bought a couple boxes of those and they do shoot good on paper.Just another option for you,I bought mine for 18 bucks box.
