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.

RE: Cartridge help

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.
