If you're on one of those ballistic sites, run a trajectory chart to compare the 130 and 150. You'll find little practical difference. The 150 gr. bullets are generally made with a thicker jacket for more controled expansion, hence deeper penetration. They are made for larger tougher game, though some like them on deer for less tissue destrucion, blood shot meat, ect they get on the smaller, lighter animal. Bullet construction plays a more important role in the killing power equation than raw charted ballistics. The bullet made to open reliably at long range(lower velocity) may have a tough time holding togeather on a shoulder shot at short range(high velocity). On the other hand, the bullet made to hold togeather on short range tough animals, has a hard time expanding at long range. This is why many have gone to the premium bullet types, though some are more successful at bridging the gap than others. The tougher premiums can cause trouble in the standard velocity rounds at long range. Kind of a long winded way of saying, you can't just look at the charts and pick the 130 for it's velocity level at the muzzle. For some applications, it works great, for others the 150 shines!
