I shoot a 145 grain, but that's just what my gun shot best. The only difference between the 130 and 150 is that the 130 shoots a little flatter. Shoot what your gun shoots best.

I shoot 140gr's. My rifle loves it. My buddy tried the 130's and his .270 hated them. He now shoots 150's, thats what the rifle chose. It really depends on your rifle and what it wants. It may like 130gr Winchester Super X over 130 Remington Core Lokt or vise versa. The gun will dictate what you shoot.

I used to have a Savage .270 and it loved 130 grain Federal Premium boattails. I tried Rem and Winchester also but those shot a 1.5" group at 200 yards (probably would have been better with a better rest). Good luck.
