Most of the 130 grain loads on the market for the 270 are designed as deer bullets, and will do the job just fine. You could use the same load to practice with.
For elk, your idea of using a 150 grain bullet of sturdy construction is a good thought. The classic is the Nosler Partition, and for good reason- it is the standard controlled expansion bullet that all others are compared to. Or, some of the new bullets like the Barnes X bullets, Winchester's Fail Safe or the new one (XP3), Speer Grand Slam, etc. I would agree with Brithunter about boat tail bullets- don't worry about whether a bullet is a boat tail or not. The boat tail's advantage doesn't even begin to show, for practical purposes, until the range is 400 yards or more. And the advantage is very slight.
