It all depends on the gun.

Look at factory ammo loaded with nosler bullets. Such as, federal.
What would life be without the thrill of the hunt?

You might get into rolling your own since there are endless possibilities for good loads.  Since I started reloading 20 years ago, I can't resist trying different powders, bullets & velocities as often as I think of the limitless combinations.  Its addicting, affordable and hones up on your shooting abilities.  The down side is that the powders and bullets are hard to find right now, so you are limited to what you can find.  I hope that gets better.

Or if you want to spend a little less for equal quality, try Hornady...............

I just bought a Remington 700 CDL in .270 that is shooting Nosler 130 gr Accubonds as well as I will ever shoot. Give them a try. There is always the cheaper stuff for practice. Accubonds have taken deer, antelope, moose, elk, bighorn sheep, and bear for me in 30-06 and 300 WSM. Lots of other good factory loads in .270 too. Just start shooting and see what the gun eats best. I also really like the Federal Premium Trophy Bonded Tip for terminal performance. So many affordable and effective options make this a great caliber to play with.

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.
