Default 270 is a Favorite.

Good advice all around. The 130gr will put a hurting on deer sized game. I had a Ruger 77 that took 22 whitetail, 2 mulies, 2 pronghorn, a bobcat and turkey before I retired it. And that was just one of four 270s that I have owned. The CorLokt bullet is a cheap way out and is great for deer. Having used premium bullets in the past I can honestly say that they are not needed on whitetails. My favorite load was 53gr of IMR-4350 under a 130gr Speer HotCor. Works swell.
