I just don't feel the need to jump up to 150 grains for any of the hunting I have done with my 270 (mule deer, elk, and bear). It just doesn't seem worth the cost in velocity and trajectery. I use 130 grain western silvertips exclusivly. Mainly because they print so much better than anything else I've tried. It has put all my animals down very cleanly in a myriad of circumstances.
Anyone want to explain why the 150 grainers have lured so many of you all away from the benefit of shooting a cartridge intended for high velocity performance.
To be a hypocrite I must add that when I finally dray my moose tag I will be handloading some 160 partition loads. I will try the exact loads that O'connor loaded for the big guys.
