For deer I used a 100gr Nosler Ballistic Tip in my 6.5x55 this year. At 3050fps it has a MPBR of 297 yds and it only takes 44grs of powder to get that.
I would think it would be a viable option for a light recoiling deer killing combo if the 270 with a 130 is too much. That 100 gr BT killed a nice fat [120pounds dressed] doe this year. the bullet took out the heart and broke the opposite shoulder as it exited. Not too bad for a lightweight round.
Course then again one could just stick one of several 90-110's in a .270 and do the same thing. The 90 Sierra has been a stone killer for us, accurate and to date we've not kept on inside a deer or lope.
Back in the day when we could get 100 grain Solid Bases they worked very well. I still have a small rainy day stash of that slug.
