Default .270 range

What kind of range and accuracy should I expect to get out my rifle? I'm shooting a Savage 110 .270, shooting Rem 130 grain core locks psp. I have it shooting high 1 1/2 at 100yds. Now I've recently started seeing a huge buck in a clearing across from my stand. This evening I seen this guy chasing some does and he stopped for just a few seconds and ran after the does. I didn't take a shot cause I wouldn't sure how far he was. Later I got down and stepped it off about 260 yds. I've shot 2 deer with it, both under 100 yds. I've never tried a shot that far. I know the rifle is more accurate than I am, but would you guys tried that shot or not? How far have you guys brought one down with a .270? Thanks for any input.
