[QUOTE="ZAK13, post: 2348181, member: 91282"] The claim is that it outperforms many cartridges, but I don't think it does much more than what's out there. At 500 yards a 150gr. bullet from a 270WSM has more energy & velocity than the 165gr. 6.8Western, (as per Ron Spomer's video). I am intrigued that the .277 caliber is getting some love right now. I love my 270WIn and it has taken many a game animal over the years for me, but so has my 30-06. I think for the average hunter, out to 500 yards, pretty much everything out there now, will get the job done, there is a reason that the 270, 30-06, 30-30, 7rm, 300wm, etc. are still around. They work and work well. [/QUOTE]
