Amazing animal! Not intending to be critical here, but I'm wondering if you've ever run into the problem of "too much gun" with your 300 WM?

Here's the thing about the 277 Fury. 277 Bullets and 308 brass were considerably less impacted both in price and availability by our recent supply crunch than most other calibers, and dies are easily available for reloading. Personally, I'd go with both the Berger VLD 130 gr hunting, and the 130...

The 277 Sig Fury will do the job for you. https://www.sigsauer.com/277-sig-fury-130gr-venari-soft-point-hunting.html

Been there, too.😁 ( https://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/would-you-be-happy-with-a-270-08-ai.308100/ ) Lots of good stuff written about the 270-08 AI.

That would be the 277 Fury.

Sounds fun! :) Thanks!

Well, if it's volume, then that introduces another variable because similar volumes can have different densities. Sorry, but I suppose I'm just not understanding the method, and I'm stuck on the amount of gas/unit time for the same weights as what makes sense. And, yes, that should change...

So BA is actually a measure of how much gas is produced (pressure), and not a measure of how fast a given amount of powder burns (g/sec). It seems obvious that different chemical compositions would vary in both these factors.

What number tells us how much gas is expelled during a given amount of time? Seems to me burn rate alone doesn't tell us how fast a given powder will push a bullet out the barrel.

Nice rig! The SAAMI specs for Sig's 277 Fury look like it's a 27-08 AI 30*, and the Army seems to like it. Wouldn't 308 cartridges be less expensive than 7-08? BTW - Joe at Redding is a great guy; really helpful when I had problems getting my 6mm TCU dies - took 18 months because someone messed up!

Agreed! If different pulls your trigger, go for it! I've been interested in the 27-08 AI for a while, and wanted to build one myself, but had some health issues come up. Looking forward to hearing about your build as it progresses.

If you don't mind the wait for new dies, you might take a look at these post about the 270-08 AI, https://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/would-you-be-happy-with-a-270-08-ai.308100/ Sounds like a it'd be a fun cartridge, and from what I've seen components should be affordable and available...

I don't happen to live in a "BLUE STATES", but venting your political spleen was uncalled for. You might be a LRH Team Member, but your comment should be pulled, or edited.

I couldn't read the weights on the labels, but I haven't seen Berger 87 gr VLD Hunting bullets in a year.

There's really no time frame involved in the definition of hoarding. If you use, or intend to use, what you buy, I'd say no, it's not hoarding. But if your purchase is just so you can set it on a shelf and look at it, or if you're intent is to hold on to it in hopes of beating inflation by...
