Yep, the partition is an outstanding bullet choice, but hampered by poor bc, but decent velocity that is suited to the ranges typically hunted, makes up for that. Realistically, inch is plenty good...

280 is a good bet, will do a little more than .270 in similar weights, but the critical advantage is the ability to use the heavier projectile weights, not sure about the 7mm WSM though, the .300 WSM...
Might be worth looking at the 150 Berger VLD also, lesser bearing surface seems to yield a little more velocity, a little more bc than the SST and good terminal performance, the LRAB's seem to be a...
MCCHE171, has a 20" barrel also, and is interested in 150gn performance in .270, you might have an observation or two?. In your short barrel, would you consider a light for calibre projectile like...
"Spit projectiles every where"... not sure if you are conducting a wind up or being deliberately obtuse.
Perhaps I will try a simplified explaination of what has occurred, just for you.

Barrel length and velocity?
Seriously? ok: rifle zero is for 150 SST, which just happens to be going somewhere else, am assuming you adjust your zero to suit loads being tested, rather than the load you are currently using as...
Mmmmm- 5 x 3 shot groups shot on 4 targets, measuring between sub half inch and three quarter inch, I must be missing something? Was put up to show: same rifle/same day/same target/same projectile...

2209 is fine for 270 Win, as you can see, a decent load of 2209 works fine and gives a small velocity gain over 2213sc at similar pressures- in this rifle driving 150 VLD's, a 22" barrel Wby...
The loads run in my 270.
