Default 270 load for deer

Pardon me if any of y'all read my post in the reloading, but since everybody doesn't reload, I thought I'd ask in this forum too:
What is y'alls favorite load (or bullet) for whitetail out of your 270 Winchesters? I'm talking about factory loads as well.
(Just in case you're wondering I have a 24" Encore)

Thanks for your help!

I used the 140 gr. Accubond for the first time last season and it did the job...

130 grain corelokts have never let me down.For the big bodied Northern deer 130 grain federal premium barnes X bullets do an excellent job.Very accurate and unreal penetration.

I also like the Hornady SST's. But the 140gr. AccuBond is what I shoot now. It gives you about the same preformance of a Ballistic Tip w/o the disadvantages of them.

I will probably never use anything in my 270 again since trying the 130 grain Federal Fusion loads. They shoot well under one inch in my 700 ADL and their performance on Mule deer is fantastic. I generally reload everything but I have found the load for this rifle. I bought a case of them with the same lot number.

I shoot the federal premium 130 gr. BTSP and they really do the job. My father shoots the accubonds 140 gr. and they also did the job.
