From other threads we hear of:
So what exactly is this 270 TH, that is, 270 Thors Hammer? It sounds like it is just a 270Win with a twist of 8" or under and a longish freeborn/throat. Or am I mistaken? PS: Maybe a slow 30'' (0.5°) taper like the 458WM instead of too much freebore.
Meanwhile, with the 300 PRC, itself a great standard action ballistic twin to the 300Wby, we could have a 270 PRC:
the 375Ruger case necked down to .277".
Which raises the questions:
Is this significantly better than the 6.8Western? (6.8 Western would be a 270 Short PRC)
Or would it be functionally equal to a 27 Nosler with a fast twist?
.270 Thors Hammer. Done.
