Decided on the load for this fall in my 270 WSM

66 grains of RL23 topped my 130 grain Partitions. It’s giving me a very consistent 3249 fps from the 24” featherweight barrel, as is pretty consistent at .65-.7” 3 shot groups. The partitions are seated .025” from the lands. I will handle anything from moose on down if forced to. I tried etips a in this rifle but they build a LOT of pressure early compared to being more well behaved in my others. May try a CX as well. I have them as well.
 
I can attest that 130 grain pills will take moose and elk (and a variety of smaller game) quite handily at the velocity you are reporting in your 270 WSM. I use the 130 grain E-tip, however. But I sure wouldn't hesitate to use the 130 grain Partition.
 
My brother is using H1000 and 150 PTs this year in his 270 WSM. We pondered it a bit and decided the 150’s around 3100 are a sure thing.

Honestly anything 130-150 grains is dynamite in my book.
 
That sounds like a winning combination. I look forward to seeing your field results.
