The 130 grain is quite lethal for deer sized animals. But the 150's have thicker jackets and much longer profiles for deep penetration. A guy at our gun club went to S. Africa for gemsbok and assortment of plains game. He took his trusty 270 and 140 gr Premium ammo. He told us that his 270 toppled game both large and medium sized with same authority.
That being said, I've never owned a 270 but have witnessed first hand what it does to mulies and 'lopes.
