[QUOTE="GilsTheDestroyer, post: 531120, member: 35626"] Thanks for the info Bigngreen, I might just get the 270 WSM while i'm getting my ducks in a row for the 6.5Destroyer...hehehe thanks Camshaft... I think the ol' .277 gets a bad wrap, and has kinda been treated as the "Middle Child"... so to speak. Over shadowed by the popularity of the .284 and .264. I was just running some #'s on that 165gr matrix @ 3000fps...if the stated BC is correct @ .738, it would be supersonic till 1900yds. @ 1000yds has roughly the same speed as the 130gr @ 3400fps, but has way more punch...and no doubt better wind bucking ability. Which gets me thinking....it is not that far of a stretch to only have to squeeze down the 7mm RUM down to the .277 vs .264. Good thing too is that Matrix is just west of me...way west... I also see that fiftydriver has a few .277 worked up...Nice stuff... Anyways, thanks for the responses guys. Gils. [/QUOTE]
