[QUOTE="scottyd2506, post: 1178987, member: 19778"] How do you figure this??? As a whole through the years the 270 was no more popular than the 25-06 was. there was actually more 25 caliber guns on the popular market than the 27 caliber. .250 Savage 257 Roberts, 25-06 and 257 Wby, where the only two 27's where the 270 win and 270 Wby. of course now you can ad the 25 WSSM and 270 WSM the 25-06 and 270 are both plenty for deer sized game, neither are best suited for elk, although the 270 would be the better choice w larger bullets. the 7mm on up are elk territory. with the new Berger 170 and Matrix 165-170 this could move the 27's into elk land, But then again so would a 155 grain .257. Not going to start a caliber war, but yeah, there is zillions of 6.5 bullets that have well over .5 and .6 bc, don't need anymore 130-140 142 6.5mm's . Just make one 155 Hybrid in 257 On the extreme side- I would agree with you on the 6.5 As there is such a huge market for 6.5mm's , why is Matrix the only bullet maker making a 160 with a .680 bc, while Berger continues to be in the stone age with the dinky little 140's barely over .600 bc I would agree some, but there is already plenty of high BC 6.5mm bullets out there. The 215 Berger with a .691 avg BC is a winner. but not much else. It does seem the 230 hybrid w a .717 bc isn't monumental. a new design should be worked out, they have a 195 7mm w a 755 bc and jump to the 33 caliber a 300 w a .818 BC, the 30's are stuck in the low .7 BC's. and last time I checked, the 30 caliber may still be more popular than the 7mm or the 338 calibers. No reason there is not a hybrid sleek new 250-260 grain .308 bullet w a 785 BC that isn't all copper and cost $2-3 a bullet. [/QUOTE]
