[QUOTE="Batsin, post: 2970524, member: 126867"] The main exception MIGHT be the 277 Fury, since it is likely to be adopted to some extent by the US Military. Only time will tell. It is a bit of a "there's Good News AND Bad News" situation. The head height is virtually the same as for the popular 270 Win ( .81" vs .80"), so bullet supply will be good. Unfortunately, that limits the ogive length, at least in SAAMI-spec factory ammo. In a longer action, longer ogived bullets can be used with the stock chamber. I suspect that many will want a longer freebore with the longer action to allow loading bullets farther out and gain powder capacity. When I ran the numbers, it turns out that bolt thrust is actually about the same as for a PRC and less than a WSM, so plenty of actions will work. [/QUOTE]
