[QUOTE="scottyd2506, post: 665773, member: 19778"] It is high and time the .277 has some good bullets, the 270 WSM is a nice round, I have never even considered the 27 bore for that reason. my main rifle is a 25-06 and I know all too well about not having good bullets. a good 7-10 years ago, the Berger 115 VLD had better bc than any .277 bullet, not the BC was cut from .523 to .466 and Berger and other make good bullets, although not as good as the 6.5 (up untill these new bullets come out) The 7mm 195 sounds like it will be a good bullets,, but getting 3000 fps out of a WSM case with a bullet that is almost 200 grains is not going to be easy, the .300 win mag can not do this unless very long barrel and hot loads, and the 300 mag is 100-200 fps faster than a WSM. Actually the 270 sounds like a better choice, with a 170 VLD and .700 BC. a 170 should get 3000 -3100 fps out of WSM case with a 26 inch tube. looks like I lose and you have a good point.. may even get a 270 WSM I would like to see a good .257 bullet in like 145 grain VLD and .700bc 3300 fps out of a 25 WSM would be a nice low recoil hard hitting combo. good shooting [/QUOTE]
