I have a new Savage Varmit Model in 270 WSM that I am going to pick up this month. I plan to start with the 140 Ballistic tip for deer. I will start with WW brass and RE-19 powder and go from there. My Manuals suggest thas H4831sc should also be a good powder. I also have half a case of Accurate MRP which burns about lioke A3100 and uses the same dats. I would also try the Sierra Pro-Hunter if it comes in 140 Grain. The best deer bullet however will probably turn out to be the Nosler 130 Gr Partition.
