what grain do you use or recomended for shooting a texas white tail with a .270 wsm

What is your barrel length and twist rate? a 130 grain Interlock or Interbond from hornady would be good medicine on Texas size deer. According to your load, would be fine out to 400 yards easily with plenty of energy and penetration to dispatch a deer well. If you have a pretty quick twist, you may want to go to 140 to 150 grain. The 140 grain SST is one of my favorites in the 270. Since I got my 7mm.08 I haven't shot my old 270 at a deer. May take the old girl out to do some hog shooting after deer seasons are done and over with. Those SST's do a bang up job on hogs. If they will put the smack down on a 200 pound hog, they will make short work of a 200 pound wimpy deer :)

I am working up some 130gr game king and 140gr Nosler Accubond loads right now for my 270 WSM, either should make QUICK work of any whitetail around here. Do you handload?

130 grain Gameking over a good dose of H4350 ... will wack Texas deer as good as it does GA deer... accurate too.

130 grain - I just buy a "cheap" box of Federal shells every year - and go hunting.

No use going over board with something bonded or spectacular - the regular old bullets gets the job done.
