Well, I'm gonna be the odd man out here. For years, I've used a 150 Partition in my .270 Win. This year, for curiosity's sake, I'm gonna load up some 150 gr. NORTHFORKS for my .270 WSM. Hoping to try them on caribou. Should be no problem there on their performance. I'm also gonna use 'em in the WSM for moose. I really wanna see what those 150 gr. pills will do to a moose.

I used a 7mm 140g North Fork on a mule deer in '07. The buck stepped forward and turned just as the trigger broke, turing a quartering away shot into a low hit in the right ham. We recovered the bullet from up against the sternum. Weight retention was 93.7% with a classic mushroom. 3200fps @ ~80 yards.
I've also dropped three elk with 165g and 180g North Forks (2 with .30-06 and 1 with .300 WM). I think you'll be pleased.
