Remington has the worst marketing guys on the planet and has had for the last forty or fifty years.
If they discovered gold they'd try to market it as, "soft yellow metal not very good for industrial applications".

If they discovered gold they'd try to market it as, "soft yellow metal not very good for industrial applications".
And if anyone ever made a match bullet for the .270 it would have kicked a lot of butt over the years. These days the modern hunting bullets equal or do better than many match bullets so it's still kicking butt. Jack O'Conner was right, the .270 (7MM) is a great round capable of more things than given credit for.

The .270 is not a 7mm, it is a .277 caliber vs the .284 of the 7mm.
Match bullets have been produced for the .270 for decades.

False, it's because the ammo got a jump on production before the rifle started to show up.

How many rifles in that caliber have been sold so far? Why would anyone be buying it if they haven't got and aren't planning to buy a rifle chambered in 6.8 Western?

Ok... You realize you're making my point for me don't you? It wouldn't be sitting on the shelves if people were buying it up as fast as they can get it in.
