I hunt with a .270 and I always go with the 130 Grain. it has great stopping power with super long range accuracy.
The 150 grain works just as well but drops quicker than the 130 on long range shots. that's pretty much the only difference really.

based on the following Remington Long Range Trajectory chart after 200 yards
you can see how the 150 grain begins to fall compared to the 130 grain.
ZERO indicates the yardage the rifle was sighted in at in this example it's 200 yards.

Cartridge Type............Bullet..............100.....150..200....250..300...400...500 yards
Remington® Express®..130..PSP.CL..1.5...1.4...zero...-2.8..-7.0..-20.9..-43.3
Remington® Express®..150..SP.CL ...2.0...1.8...zero...-3.6..-9.4..-28.6..-61.2

for grins and giggles, bruce, do you have the fps and energy differences at those ranges as well. my guess is the energy drops of faster at the longer distances with the lighter bullet.

It's a real pain trying to align the ballistic table on here but here's the link to the Full Comparison.
But no the Energy (ft-lbs.) drops faster on the heavier 150 grain vs. the 130 so it turns out that the 130 grain retains velocity & energy much better..

I've shot 130.140 & 150gr through my Ruger .270 each one did very well but the 130 stood out as being the best for me.
