I just finished the first hitch of mule deer hunting with the 270. I didn't have time to work up a load but you can't go wrong with the 130 grain Federal Fusion loads. I was really impressed with their performance. They list them as a good bullet for deer and elk. Its a bonded core bullet. I hit seven Mukle deer and got seven one shot kills. As far as reloads though, I would need look no further than the Nosler Partition. 130 for deer, 150 for elk. I may try these in the new 270 WSM that I ordered today.
