270 Win load question

Here I am yet again thinking about reloading my 270 and I have come to the conclussion that I need opinions and information.

I am looking at two bullet weights of the same bullet.

Nosler Ballistic Tip 130gr with a B.C. .433 an S.D. .242 and an OAL: 1.220"

OR

Nosler Ballistic Tip 140gr with a B.C. .456 an S.D. .261 and no OAL listed from my source.

I am considering using Hogdon's 4895, BUT I have also been told that Varget works very well in the 270. I am not a fan of H1000, and don't know much about the rest of the powders they list.

Assumeing I want to use the round from predator to whitetails (maybe even a mulie here and there) AND I would like to tailor it enough to be a nice paper puncher at longer ranges what ideas do you guys have? I am leaning towards going with the 130s, but am not positive, and am up in the air on powders. (Even suggesting another brand of powder that works good would be helpful)

Thanks
