[QUOTE="Another Casual, post: 2557172, member: 89878"] Right, and a fast twist 270 is a different beast than an off the shelf 270. But, factory offerings (SAAMI spec) appeal to the majority of gun owners and hunters who buy off the shelf rifles and ammo. A longer throat and faster twist on the .260 or the 6.5x55 and voila, you have a new cartridge. Or, someone buys your 156gr long throat ammo and its jammed in the lands (or has to jump a mile). In an attempt to get the thread back on the rails: Drawing looks nice, interesting choice to not just neck down the 300 but it should yield longer barrel life. The high end brass market for 6.5/300 PRC brass has added a lot of great manufacturers in recent years, I'm sure this cartridge will receive the same support. Likely the same support from hornady and rifle manufacturers as well. Hornady seems to stand behind their cartridges (despite its limited success, the 300 RCM has a factory precision hunter loading). I can't see myself getting worked up when someone gives me another option. I'm also interested to see if the brass wildcats into anything fun, although I don't currently have a long action laying around. [/QUOTE]
