Cartridge Suggestion
 
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!!

130 grain core-loks ought to do the trick.

I like the 130grn Winchester Supreme Combo BT's for factory ammo. The price of the the ol' green box Rem's are hard to beat and kill deer just fine. My bud had used nothing but them for years and has never had a problem with them.

Truthfully, I'd get a couple of boxes of different manufacturer's offerings in the standard 130 grain load and feed 'em through. You will find that every gun has a load it really shoots well. You really can't be sure what the gun likes until you give her a taste. I'd be willing to bet if you'd try some 130 gr. remington corelokts, some federal premium 130 gr., and winchester cxp 130 gr. bullets, you'll find one that groups better than the other two.
With that said, if money is a bit of a problem for you, just pick one brand and try it. If you can shoot sub 2" groups with it out 100 yards, you'll be fine.

I like the federal supremes but if you can find them the remington bronze point is a great bullet.

I would think almost any brand would do you just fine out to 150 yards, i dont know who makes your .270 but i used to hunt with my fathers Savage .270 and had good success with winchester powerpoints i think 130gr.

For deer? 130 gr. Remington Express PSP Core-lokt, or 130 gr. Winchester Super-X Power Points. Can't beat $7.99 a box...
