You are mistaken,...Hornady makes 3 separate 150 Grain 30-06 Superformance loads. SST, SST Interbond, GMX. Same as the 270 Win. They are making them because the "Temporarily suspended" was generically posted only to catch up with the current demand. I read that about the 270 on their web site and called them. They have started production on all their main calibers using Superformance in most all bullet weights. Superformance will be their future in rifle ammunition. The 30-06 SST Superformance are in stock at Sportsmans Guide for $27.64. I know SG carries 165 and 180 Superformance. Talking to Hornady, Superformance will eventually become their standard load for all calibers. They are moving it across the entire line of bullets and calibers. Superformance will be the new norm. Remington is also trying to do the same thing with their "Hyper Sonic" but has not been as fast as Hornady in independent testing.
There will still be a price point load offered by Hornady in the older interlock (soft point) ammo and will be marketed it as American Whitetail. The old Soft Points have put the smack down on deer for 70 years and can be a better choice in the brush.

I am going by a very neutral and even playing field manufacture specs of the latest top shelf high performance ammo.. That way all things are equal including barrel length.
JOC did use the 150 in the 30-06 and talked much about how the 165 grain would have to be used to give the 30-06 a better ballistic coefficient. Not much has changed in bullet weights with these two calibers over the years. The BC in the 30-06 cant catch up to the BC of the 270. At 100 yards the 30-06 is loosing energy fast.
