I used them in .308 and they shot very well in my gun, and performed great on a little 9 point.

They worked fantastic for me in the 270 but I have to ask why you would use the 150 grain instead of the 130 grain. The 270 gained its rep and earned its place in the hunting fields around the world with the 130 grain bullet. The 130 grain 270 is equal in SD to the 140 grain 7MM and the 165 grain 30 caliber. Last year I killed nine big mulies with nine shots using the Federal fusions in 130 grain. I would try the 130 grain first and only if they don't shoot well in your gun would I try the 150.

The Fusions shoot well out of my .25-06.
