Default bullet type suggestion

I shoot a winchester model 70 .270. Ive been shooting 130 gra ballistic silvertips, but was wondering what would be a better bullet to go to. I only hunt deer with this rifle and and want to stay inthe 130 grain range.

Do you reload?

Here is a bullet I would use if not a BT. The 130Gr. SBT Sierra GameKing #1820...

This is a very good penatraiting bullet for deer.

Or, I know you said you like the 130Gr., but the 140Gr. HPBT Sierra GameKing #1835 is awsome.

Let me know if you reload..

The SST' s are a thicker jacketed bullet than the Nosler BT' s or most other BT.
I have heard good reviews on the SST' s used on Wild Hog' s. I just cant get the accuracy with them in my rifle. The accuracy is honestly plenty good for your hunting accuracy, I am just use to tight groups.
