For the critters you have down there in Texas, the 130 should be plenty.

In the .270, a somewhat slower powder will fill the case better and probably be more consistent-burning. The classic load is a case-full of H4831, and that's still a winner. You could go a notch faster and use RL-19, IMR 4831, or any of the 4350s, also.

While you can reach 3,000 fps with any of the slower powders, it really isn't necessary to strain things. With standard bullets, a more comfortable 2800 is extremely lethal, darn near as flat-shooting and easier on everything from the brass to your shoulder.
