I don't have experience with a .270, but, I think what you'll hear here is to try several different loads and see what works best in your rifle. The 130 gr. bullet will certainly work just fine on deer, and shoot a bit faster and flatter than the 150 gr.

I haven't used Hornadys, as for my purposes, I've never needed any kind of premium-type load. I use Winchester 150 gr. power points in my .30-06, Remington 100 Gr. Pointed Soft Point Core-Lokt's in my .243 and Remington "managed recoil" 140 gr. PSP C-L's in my 7mm Rem. Mag. Never had to take more than one shot at a deer with any of them...
