[QUOTE="sedancowboy, post: 1301808, member: 85874"] I have never heard of that cartridge. I do have a lot of experience with Caliber .277 is several different cartridges. With 1/10 twist you are limited to 150gr and below. I know people will swear they have great results with heaver bullets in 1/10 but my experience is that to stabilize heavy bullets you need a 1/8 twist barrel. I have a 270 WSM with 1/8 barrel that is amazingly accurate and is sending the Berger 170 EOLs at 3050fps. If I wanted to go bigger I would go with a 27 Nosler with a 1/8 and the 170s. The 150gr ABLRs shoot ok and would work with your twist. Is the dies and brass for a 270-8X68 not going to be cost prohibitive? [/QUOTE]
