My .02 would be a bit different than Billy's.
A friend of mine uses a 270 in Georgia, where the deer aren't real large- which I suspect is true in Texas, too.
His bullet of choice is a Nosler 130 Ballistic Tip, which has performed wonderfully- one shot, one deer- every time.
If you hit a shoulder with it, at close range, yes, you'll ruin some meat- but you'll get the deer.
The load that rifle uses is the 130 BT, Winchester cases, CCI 250 (magnum) primers, and AA 3100 powder. MV is 3050.
3100 is very similar to H4831, GOB. If you have some 4831, or can get some, that would be a fine powder choice.

I'll stick to the Partitions and X Bullets thankyouverymuch.
