FOr factory ammo, I always go cheap first. If 130 grain corelokts shoot--USE THEM.
Great deer round.

I would start with 150gr and if it does not like that go down 10gr or 20gr. 150gr Partition is a good one to start at. +1 -

If you want to keep it simple....For whitetails and the like, 130 grain Fusions...
For everything else, 130 grain Federal Premium TSX's.

+whatever on the Fusions. In quite a few rifles they are as accurate as they come for factory fodder. I would have no qualms about using the 150gr Fusion all the way up to elk.
I grabbed 100 rounds for a new .270 because I was moving and knew it would be a while before I get set up again. Well after less then a box I was thinking about not even getting dies for it and just running the fusion for everything.
Hunt hard, kill clean, waste nothing and offer no apologies.

Clay is selling a potpourri of factory .270 rounds in the classifieds right now. Good chance to see if your rifle likes any of them.

Savage 99, I will most often shooting at a range of <200yds. I will be using this rifle for hunting muley and blacktail bucks and Roosevelt and Rocky Mt. elk. I think 130gr will be fine for the deer. With elk I would think 140-150gr....?
