I assume by your response or lack of that there is no justification for the 150 gr being too big statement. I didn't think so. When every 30-06 shooter that I know is shooting 165 gr bullets, I can't see where 150 gr would be too big just because it is out of a 270.
Actually if you want to compare apples to apples a 130gr/277 is on par with 165/308 bullet & the150/277is closer to the 180/308,interms of sectional density. That said on a deer SD just isn't a big worry so most go with lighter faster for trajectory reason and more reliable expansion or positive wound channels. Both will cleanily kill deer though, if the shooter puts it where it needs to be!
As far as the original question 130's mostly but I also used 140 and 150 with good results in the 270win. It boils down to picking the right bullet for the situation/job, rifle likes and experience/preference. If the 150's are working JFL then no need to drop down, unless you want too that is.
