The 160gr. Weldcore penetrates FAR FAR better than the 150gr partition. Most shoulder shots, the 150gr partition doesn't exit on elk. it's really not even vaguely close.;

The .270 was relegated to a second rate cartridge by the twist rate mistake Winchester made. It's unfortunate, as they could simply have copped the 7mm Mauser twist rate of 1:220mm (8.6") and been fine, but those are the facts.
