The Remington ballistic site will show that a 130 grain .270 bullet hits harder and is faster than a 150 grain 30 06 bullet.
The problem with the 270 is that unless you have a premium bullet like a solid copper X bullet or the bonded bullets, those regular jacketed bullets arent really meant for moose. THOSE ARE DEER BULLETS and are quick to open up and often break apart at velocities of 3000 fps when hitting bigger animals such as moose. They were never designed as moose bullets. Penetration is poor and I would ALWAYS RATHER HAVE 2 HOLES IN AN ANIMAL THAN 1. Like I said before, if it didn't go through, it didn't penetrate well, and more than likely broke into ineffective pieces inside. A 130 grain bullet that breaks into 5 or 6 pieces isn't too effective now is it? If you have a single hole in an animal and you dont destroy their lungs or heart, then they will go a long ways before bleeding to death. Not very ethical. 2 holes = lots of bleeding and quick death. I have read a lot of gun writers talk about "the myth that if the bullet stays inside the animal, all the energy is spent inside, well if the bullet exits and mushroomed like it was supposed to, it spent as much energy inside the animal as the bullet that stayed inside, plus it had energy to spare, which it used to punch a second hole to ensure massive blood loss." Doesn't that make sense to any of you? If it punches through, it had at least equal the energy of the single hole bullet, but enough energy for complete penetration to finish the job.
