On a target the size of a La whitetail chest, the 130 is superior.
It will expend more of its potential energy in the target. The 150 will not perform as well.
Both will exit.
The 150's exit wound will be smaller because of the lesser energy expended in target.
Now if you're shooting at ranges not normally seen in La. Then yeah. 150. It retains more energy farther out thus causing more damage if it's mushrooming correctly.
Just tune it to what you are trying to kill. If it's something small like a whitetail, hot and light can completely annihilate them out to 250 yards or so. Very flat. Very deadly with an astonishing shock wave.

The .270 bullet is the 130 gr bullet. There is a reason that history smiles upon it the way it does. That being said, I don't know much more then shite about it. I know that in my limited reloading experience with the 270 the 130's have performed much better in my rifle, and it hasn't been close. Hope this helps.
