No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.

Never seen anything run from a 130 grain bullet. Like, Partition Hot Core Sierra pro Hunter NBT on Deer
For one bullet, I would go 130 grain. You might as well make it a Partition.

Mike, I have not shot any 150's in .277. Was lucky the first box of 140 TSX just shot so damn good never tried anything else. For me the 150's are in the 7mm territory.....

140gr Accubond gets my first vote, then 140gr TTSX. Used only the Accubonds (factory Winchester Supreme) and reloads since 2005. Had the TSX's but the perforance of the Accubonds at the range and on big game (elk, moose, deer, bears) with my 270WSM's I never tried the TSX's and traded what I had for more Accubonds.

140 grain Partition, 140 grain Accubond both work very well for me.

That is what I would use as well if I still used my .270 for everything. Finding one accurate load with one bullet makes hunting more enjoyable than trying to switch bullets all the time. My .270 has been pretty much retired from hunting anything over the size of mule deer. My choice of bullet now is a 130 grain Sierra GameKing for everything deer sized and smaller.

Considering all the factors in the initial post. Big-small. Near-far. Paper-flesh and cost... 140 Accubond

I use the Hornaday 130 InnerLock exclusively in my .270. If I were to use that rifle on everything and only one load, I'd probably use the 150 Nosler Partition.

I used to swear by the Nosler Partition in the 160 grain bullet weight. This was used in a .270 Winchester. It just did everything I needed and then some but today after finishing up a few tests we started a couple weeks ago, I am giving high hopes to the new Barnes 150 TSX bullet. It's flying faster and penetrates deeper, keeping more bullet weight in tact.
However, will it open up down range all the blessed time? I still don't know that part yet. You never know from one batch of bullets to the rest, at least that was the story with the X bullets and blue XLC bullets of yester years.
150 grain BARNES TSX BULLET..doing good so far! Now I just need to not have all this clutter in my mind about those Barnes bullets NOT OPENING UP ONCE THEY HIT THAT DEER. Decisions decisions!

Since the question extends to include moose I would go with the 150 Nosler partition. My experience shows them to work very well for this purpose.
