need advice on .270 ammo

Maybe try a 130 grain bullet. Many who shoot the 270 prefer the 130 grain. I like Rem. core-lokt ammo for the thin skinned deer of the Southeastern US.

Plain old Remington core-lokts 130 grain should do fine; at least try a box for group size.
I don't know what you call a great group, but the Federals should surely be accurate enough for deer harvesting at that range, unless something else (barrel, sights, shooter) is out of spec. Compare a couple other brands and see how they do, You don't need a high priced premium load for what you are asking it to do.

Fed. Fusions usually work fairly well, but each rifle is an individual and you need to try something else apparently.
There are a number of reliable loads available, and maybe if you tried some 140gr or even 130gr., and you don't need to spend a bunch to get something to shoot well in your rifle. Some regular Rem Core-Lokts or Winchester Power Points or even some Prvi-Partizan can do the job.
One guy's favorite load may not work well in your rifle, and that's just the way it is.

My rifle groups really well with the inexpensive Federal Power-Shok 130 gn. I've taken a few eastern NC deer with that round.

Sometimes a rifle can just be picky. A .270 that I own hates Core-lokt 150 gr ammo and cant group better than 2" at 100. However, it groups better than 2" at 200 with Hornady 130 gr loads.

For the .270 Win, the standby load to test a rifle's accuracy potential, is a hand-loaded 130 grain projectile over 60 grains of H4831 with a large rifle primer. If your rifle will not shoot accurately with that load, check the shooter or the rifle or the rifle's components. Rather than waste your cash on factory loads, cut right to the bone of the matter. Take 12 form-fired cases, and load them as I indicated. By the way, that is not my opinion, it is Jack O'Connor's belief. I read it about 30 years back and adopted it with considerable success. I have worked up loaded as high as 62 grains of H4831...approach 60+ grains with extreme prejudice!!!

my .270 will not shoot 150 grain bullets well either, but it's a tack driver with 130s, and i'm speaking of the remington core loks too......go figure. I won't shoot anything but 130 grain core loks in that gun, plus i don't load for that caliber. i will tell you that the Remington 700 that i bought in 300 win mag, from the factory had a very heavy trigger pull which will of course affect your groups. It was almost 7 lbs. out of the box........so i had a nice fella do some work on it for me and she breaks at a sweet 3 lbs. now. As you could imagine, my groups shrunk in size substantially........

If possible try different brands. Same weight (gr) though.

My .270 likes Hornady 130 gr SP, rem cases, WLR primers and 58gr of H4831SC. This shoots at an inch or less at 100 yards and around 2850 fps. I tried the old standby 60 grains and actually went up to 61gr but accuracy was best at 58gr, so thats what I use.

+1 on the 130gn core lokts. plenty of bullet for a whitetail.
