    270 factory loads

    What's the go to load for factory 270 stuff these days? Used to be the superformance 140gr sst way back when I bought factory stuff but then we were all told that the hundreds of deer we shot inside 200 with it were killed by magic not the projectile because ssts would blow up that close.
    Young fella on the farm is just starting out and got himself a 270 (good man, he will go far) he's not a big time tops hunter or anything like that and will just be using a simple vx1 with duplex reticle so all his shots are only ever going to be out to 300 max, mostly farm hunting sort of stuff, all on red deer.
    I have been living here four years now and never really bothered asking around for access to hill country stations to shoot a deer all though have been offered one place anyhow. This young fella hasn't even had his licence in the mail yet and he's managed to grease up about 6 or 7 local farmers and has access coming out his ears so I might have to volunteer myself as his hunting mentor I reckon.
    Back on subject, suggestions for a factory load to suit his needs?
