[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 1665029, member: 109862"] I certainly will let you know. Yeah it’d be kind of redundant to try making the 277 bore a competition/target/elr contender at this point, the bases are covered, but there’s got to be a truly incredible amount of 270 win rifles out there and people who like options, so I can’t see why there’d be no interest at all. I agree about accuracy too...I think simply because it’s a hunting cartridge almost always chambered in sporter weight rifles the assumption is that the 270 cartridge itself just simply isn’t as accurate as some well known accuracy rounds, but that hasn’t been my observation. The other thing I like about it is it’s seldom picky. There have only been two projectiles, one factory and one hand loaded, that my cheap savage 270 has not liked. It can do under an inch at times, but for my hunting what I love about it is that apart from the two bullets mentioned there’s honestly nothing it doesn’t put inside 1.5”. That is remarkable to me. Perhaps the fact that the 1:10 twist sees no variation means the bullet makers have all had to design projectiles optimal for that twist, whereas with the 22, 24, 25, 26, 28, and 30 calibers there’s always been variability in what twist has been selected. Additionally, for a long long time the only 270 was the 270 Winchester, then the weatherby, and nothing else until recently. So projectiles were built around the dimensions of that one cartridge, dedicated. [/QUOTE]
