Aren't you confusing velocity with FPE??

Put in 270 and look at 150 gr core lock ballistics.

150 power point

And the Remington premium with the nosler partition 150 gr comes in at 1459 FPE at 400

Are you OK with the nosler partition out to 300 and possibly 400 yards? Probably, but the drop starts to come into play there.
