Any whitetail deer in this world can be easily taken with 130 grain core lockts out of the .270 and 150 grain core lockts out of your 30-06. There is absolutly no need to spend the extra money on the " premium" bullets unless the cheap stuff just won' t shoot well for you. Of course at 30 - 50 yards you could shoot them with a sling shot and still get good shot placement. Remember that thousands of people have been shooting deer and larger animals with the " regular" ammo for many many more years than the " premium" bullets have even been on the market.
