270 Win velocities are easy on 150 grain bullets - I think one would be hard pressed to find a 150 that didn't work well.
I've used the 150 Ballistic Tip and 150 Partition on elk with indistinguishable results...
The 308 Win is like the woman you marry for life - low drama, stable. Maybe not the best at any one thing, but reliable in everything.

As the grand ole' 270 Winchester continues to be a great hunting cartridge. I see no reason for it to fail, may it always be a great round.

Lately, I've settled into 130TTSX for most purposes, but I have taken a couple moose with 160NPs over RL26 with great results.

I prefer classic. Semper Fi I used to run with the hare. Now I'm envious of the tortoise and I do my own stunts but rarely intentionally

Nosler Partitions, Swift A Frames, and Hornady Interloks are all winners.

The 150 grain partition has always worked good for me.

I never really thought about having a .270, until I got a Mod 70 in a trade. It is an amazing shooter with 130 Interlocks and also the 150s. I settled on the 130, as I shoot only deer with it. I would not hesitate to use the 150 Interlocks on about any game, though.

Favorite the 150 grain Speer Hotcor. Second the 150 Nosler Partition. Used the 150 grain Hornady's some both the spire point and the round nose. All great bullets.

150 Partitions have been excellent for my family on a large variety of game from whitetails and hogs to kudu, sable, and Zebra. It’s my absolute favorite bullet for the .270 WCF.

When I carried a 270 a lot I mostly shot 130s. NBTs and interlocks.
When elk were on the menu I used 150 partitions and used them throughout that hunting season at home and abroad. They worked perfectly on all manner of game from antelope to elk.

Interested to hear what has been your go to 150gr bullet in the 270 Winchester across medium big game. Deer, hogs, elk, black bear, nothing crazy. Also not looking for a 150gr bullet that needs to be pushed fast. Range is 350yd and in.
I’ve got lots of experience with lighter loads in the 270 and wanted to try out some of the heavies considering I hunt mostly 200yd shot and less type terrain.
So far in factory loads the partition is shooting 1.5-1.75MOA. Federal blue box 150gr JSP shooting a steady 1.25moa and sometimes better.
I’m tempted to stop at the 150gr federal blue box, buy a case and call it good. With those parameters, the 110 grain Barnes TTSX is not going to give up anything to any other bullet It will penetrate so well you probably will never recover one, They are accurate. They kill very well.

The 270 Winchester will outlive all of us. It will be here when Jesus comes back.
It really is a great round. I think, if a gun manufacture would make a nice semi-custom rifle with great quality parts; they would sell rifles.
Isn't that what business is all about? Making a product and selling said product. Putting people to work.
Workers having pride in their craftsmanship, this can be done. There is no real need to focus on new cartridges; let's make a good product.
Business's need to have a desire to make a quality product.
If I start making rifles and selling them, first one out of the gate would be a 270 Winchester.
Yep, Campfire Rifle Company.

You meant .270 Wby right?  I can say mine loves 130grn TTSX’s. Both on the range and the one cow elk I’ve been able to take with it.
It is not enough to fight for natural land and the west; it is even more important to enjoy it. While you can. While it's still there. So get out there and hunt and fish and mess around with your friends...

I do not have as much experience with 150's as I do the lighter weight bullets out of the 270. My experience is with Speer GS, NPT, and Hornady Interlock. They have all worked on Elk, Caribou, deer, and hogs.
If I had to choose just one, it would be the Hornady. Doesn't tear deer up, works on elk, and penetrated a 225# hog from back to front. None recovered.
