I'm not up on the newer powders. For a quick and easy deer load I'd grab some 130s off the shelf and sit them on top of 55 grains of IMR4350.

Growing up and before I went looney in the 70's and 80's. That is the exact load our neighbor put together with a Hornady 130gr SP for Dad's and my 270's. Killed an awful lot of deer and antelope with it.

Have not had IMR 4831 or 4350 on the shelf for a very long time.
