After lookin' past the ole IMR 4831/150 gr. .270Win workhorse load, decided to update to the Hodgdon 4831SC variety, mainly for the Temp. stability.
Also used to load mainly Partitions in that weight, hot, but now find that, at ~ 2800 fps at the muzzle, the inexpensive SPEER Grand Slam (current mono-core) makes a fine practice and hunting round both, to as far as usually need to shoot.
Got a pile during the last factory rebate, dirt cheap.
Small groups, and generally a pass-through w/ good exit wounds.
Also have some copper 140 gr. TSX, run a hundred or so fps. faster.
No complaints.

In my younger years I shot everything with 150 grain Speer Hotcors and Hornady innerlocks, good results every time started at or near 2800 fps.
Used to use 150 gr. HC for practice, and Partitions in that weight for hunting.
The last rebate go-round, the 150 gr. Grand Slams were ~ $0.21/pop, and the HC ~ $0.15.
Haven't missed the Partition's performance yet (or their cost), and a single bullet guarantees the same point of aim.
Could probably live w/ the 150 gr. HC just as easily.
