[QUOTE="Milepost, post: 1790208, member: 104022"] Although the idea of high pressure case designs have been bounced around for decades I think that the time has come for the 277 Fury and other like designs to gain some marketing traction. New advancements in technology for powder and stronger materials have now finally caught up. Can't see any reason why this will fail if the ammo prices are kept reasonable. BUT.... ...There is also a BIG problem... Liability. Using these in a current similar case configuration/cal (like a 260 Imp). These might be very cool but if something should go wrong on an older receiver??? Sig was very wise to go with the .277 cal as no other standard short action cartridge is available in that size. The same goes for the .256 cal so maybe that would be the next go to for another future Sig design offering. ;) Hmmm ...Can you just imagine a .256 cal design using a 131gr Blackjack? Screw on a 24-26" barrel and suppressor for PRS or build one up as the ultimate antelope rifle? Wow!!:eek: IMO - I think what would be a good idea for the firearms industry to do in order to embrace these new HP cartridge designs is to do what the pistol manufactures started doing over 30 years ago and come up with a standardized new +P rifle rating for their future actions to get around any liability issues.:rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
