Which would be a better choice for all round usage...antelope up to moose and elk. I'm shooting a Sako Finnlight...I can decide faster flatter 130 or slightly more energy of the 150. My max shots would probably be 400 yards...my personal limit

130 gr NP

Well I always want an exit wound, so I used 150s and 160s on elk in my 270s. I have only seen 3 moose killed with 270s and all were with 150s. 2 of the 3 had exits.

I have only recovered one 270 bullet from an elk in my life which was a raking shot with a 160 grain Nosler Partition from about 400 yards. I found the bullet at the base of the neck.
Here it is.

Easy answer is 150 grain.

Whichever shoots best from your rifle, if they both shoot the same I'd probably go 150. Either of them are winners in my opinion.

BobinNH and a few others took a lot of animals with the 130 Partitions. I don't think you'd ever see the difference. Good luck, hope they both shoot like crazy.

Thanks for the input I'll probably try the 150's and see if they shoot for me...

I almost always use 150 grain loads. I have seen no real difference between 130 and 150 grain loadings but just prefer the heavier load for those just in case situations where you might actually want the heavier bullet.

Although many use it successfully, I soured on a 270 as an elk round when I saw a calf shot years ago with 150g partitions. On a slightly quartering away shot through the ribs at 325yds, the bullet didn't exit. I never chronographed these factory loads but I'd guess the were no faster than 2750fps or so. Perhaps the range and modest starting velocity contributed. When I help my son with loads for his 270, I hope to find a 150g load that shoots well as I'm a huge fan of exit wounds.

If Elk and moose on the menue. 150 or 130 ttsx

I personally prefer the 150's. With that said you can do a lot worse than either choice. Shoot whichever bullet is most accurate and harvest your animal.
Good luck and have fun! Tom

Why not the 140 grain? Best of both worlds, right?

Jack O'Connor liked the 130 grain as long as bullet construction was up to the job. Just sayin'....

True, yet people who are not crack shots like J-O are led to think they need to take out some type NP insurance,
apparently the '20 grains extra cover policy' does the trick...

why there isn't a law banning 130s from ordinary folk who are not certified hunting legends I don't know...

I don't reload so that ones out for me.....
