Default Cartridge help

Well, I am wanting to get some suggestions as to what cartridges i should shoot out of my new .270, as far as grains and everything.I want it to be a store purchased cartridge that i can easily get. My shots can be anywhere from 30yds out to 150ish yds. Thank you guys!!

Remington 130 Gr. Core Lokts. They shot very good outta my .270 I know that every gun is different, but those are good cheap shells.

As you've stated if your longest shot is going to be under 200 yards just about any load between 130 & 150 grains will work very well. As others have suggested the 130 gr. Core-Lokt is great but the Winchester Power Point and Federal Hi-Shok would also work equally well. There is no need unless you want to spend the money to go with a premium type of ammo for deer at the ranges you speak of.

Federal Fusions 130 grain. Best factory load that I have ever seen.
