I've used Nosler BT 130s with success; very accurate. "Explosion" type results were only seen when shooting at ranges closer than 50 yards. I've had very good accuracy with Sierra Game Kings, but I haven't shot any deer with that bullet.
I bought a box of Hornady SST that I will try this coming fall, based on the excellent results I've gotten with Hornady INterlock in my 260. (My 270 preferrs boat-tail plastic-tipped bullets, and the Hornady SSTs generally have better reviews than the Nosler BT in terms of sticking together on high-velocity bone contact.)

Camoman270- I used those same bullets in a .243 and killed my first buck with it. I may use them. They are some many choices out there. I dont know where to begin.

Jakeway- I loved those hornady SST for my 300 mag. They could really do some damage, but with a 300 mag it dont take much to blow a hole. I didn't know how those SST would do out of a .270.

I suggest you try a couple of boxes of different type bullets or the same from different ammo brands. Federal and Win as well as others overlap each other in some bullet types such as the Nosler Ballistic Tip and Accubond and pick the one that is most accurate in your rifle.
I am fond of the 140gr bullets in the 270's esp the Nosler Accubond and Partition.

They are all good.
Find one your rifle shoots the best and go with that one.

I shoot that gun for years and the best round I found for that gun was a Remington Core-Lokt 130 gr. I have killed everything from elk to deer with that old gun. That round grouped better than any other brand.
