Alright, what would the advantage be of shooting a 150gr bullet instead of a 130?
Maybe the 150s were on sale? Your rifle shoots better with them? You're shoot really big animals, and hope for some marginal improvement?

Most of my shots are under 100 yards in hardwoods.
In that case - with a .270? - I don't think it would make a whole lot of difference which bullet used. That said... I only killed three deer with my .270, and all were under 90yards. Here's that 90 yard buck - I hit him in the neck as he trotted through the woods, one of my best shots ever. I think I was using 130gr corelokt.
