[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2430294, member: 30902"] What it needs is a demand that just doesn't exist. For a factory round to succeed tens of thousands of rifles need to be sold in that caliber and millions of rounds of ammo bought annually in the first ten years. There just isn't any great demand for a new .277. If they could have put rifles and ammo in the hands of the top shooters in LR competition to shoot and win with and done a huge rollout campaign as was done for the Needmore it might have had a chance of really gaining some traction. That's what's driving the market these days and has for more than a decade. It's not even a substantial improvement over the 7mm wsm and Winchester wasn't bright enough to roll out a new cool Model 70 chambered in it. Browning doesn't sell enough rifles to have any significant impact on the market and the Winchester Offerings aren't lighting the world on fire either. It'll gain a dedicated but small following and that's about it. [/QUOTE]
