Just curious, but, having loaded the 150NP for hunting the same province that you do and exclusively for at least 25 years for about a dozen different .270s I have owned, I have never seen any actual benefit to the 160NP.
It IS heavier, but, given it's profile, it has a lesser "BC" than the 150, so, I chose the lighter one. I am interested in why you choose the 160, maybe for Grizzlies?
I have loaded 270s since March, 1968 and have used RE-22 exclusively since 1990, with stellar results, sub-moa accuracy with the 150 and 2900 fps-mv averaged from my three P-64 Fwts with their 22" tubes.
I am going to try some RE-25 later this year in my various .280 Rems, to see if they will do 2900 from their 23" bbls., with the 160NPs and I think this might well be an excellent choice for the .270-160NP, as well.
JMHO, but, I would be very interested in any results you may have and care to post here.
