If you were gong to use just one grain of factory ammo for deer, antelope, and coyote, what grainand what bullet would you shoot? Keep in mind long shots and wind. I know there is no "magic bullet", but what one would you choose for all three? Thanks!

Well I would go with the 130 grain even though folks have had good results with the 110 grain Sierra. I would tend to error a little on the heavier side and go with the 130 grain. Either the Partition or TXS would be my choice.
I haven't shot my 270's in a couple of years, but my son uses Win Supreme 140 gr Accubonds and has had great results. From what I have seen my son do and the way the bullets have performed on game, I would take the Accubonds after anything deer size or smaller.
Yep, 130 gr...My brother's .270s happen to like the Federal Premium 130 Sierra SPBT...Him and his son have killed 50-60 deer with this bullet...and one black bear...
140 gr might just reach out a little farther. Due to the fact that it weighs more and will retain more down range energy.
But you do not need accubonds to kill a deer.
Those bullets were designed more along the lines to be used for thick skinned game such as Elk and Bear.
The old Remington Core Loct's has killed a slug of game in its day - along with the Winchester Supreme's and the Federals. Nothing wrong with a $10 box of shells.
My 270 is a tack driver with the Winchester Supreme Balistic Silver tips 130 grain. I've killed dozens of deer with this round, most callapsed, a few traveled less than 30 yards. You do not need accubonds on deer size animals.
