I would second the 150 gr nosler partition I loaded up some in 7mm-08 for deer and moose. Also use partitions 100 gr for deer in my 243. old 243

I don't recommend the Nosler 150gr partition for deer because deer are light boned and the partition may not expand properly. For moose, no problem.

That's not true about the partition. The front end is designed to open quite violently and the rear is what penetrates.
Ding ding ding winner winner moose dinner. All the moose I have shot with the exception of one was killed with a Remington PSP CoreLokt hand loaded. The exception was with a Winchester Power Point. If you want to spend more on bullets go ahead but it is not necessary. Whatever makes you feel good.
I've always found that the CoreLokt in an appropriate caliber does a good job. That's all the guys I hunt with use, in various calibers, and they have always performed well.
Rem core lokts and Winchester power points have never groups well for me... I wish they did since they are cheap to buy!
Shoot what groups best in your rifle, try a couple different types in a 150gr. Hopefully its the cheap stuff that groups best for you.
For me, Winchester ballistic silvertips give me 1" @ 100yds off the bench, which I will take all day long. good ammo for the money..
Since you are reloading
try some barnes
either 130 ttsx or 140 tsx
good for both moose and deer.
I'm glad to read the good reviews from you guys with Remington Core-lokt .270 ammo. I just bought a new Ruger M77 Synthetic-Stainless and put a Nikon 3-9X40 scope on it. It bore-sighted dead on at installation. I can't wait to get this baby to the range. I'll use both 130 and 150 gr. Core-lokt.
