[QUOTE="Wild_Bill, post: 2085569, member: 4785"] The theory was there but in reality it does not give any real advantage. Its not a short action it's a medium action. When you compare ballistics to 1000 yards the 150gr 270wsm shoots flatter and less wind drift than the 6.8 the only advantage with the 6.8 is 25 ft lbs more energy at 1000 yards with the 165 lr ab. All other loads perform worse than most other cartriges. The new smaller case does not have the capacity to take advantage of the new high bc projectiles. [/QUOTE]
