I'd agree with Art Eatman-the 130 grain bullet is the classic load. I bought a Rem 700 in 270 Win from a friend a few years back, and this particular rifle likes Hornady 140 grain BTSP a bit better than the 130 grain bullets. I also noticed its not quite as explosive on game.

I suggest you experiment with the 130 and 150 weights and see what your rifle likes best.
