    For the 150s you will want ar2225.
    Out of interest what we're you using for the 130s?
    Ar2213sc works well on the lighter projectiles.

    I would say go for the heavier projectiles, unless your rifle won't shoot them.
    Good luck

    Agree, if you are running 130gr, you might as will just have a 270Win and save the barrel life. No point having a race car if you don't race it! 140 as a min, but best to run 150s. If your barrel is 1:9 step up to 165gr if you can find any.
