[QUOTE="Buckys, post: 2373570, member: 107750"] If you start down the "what were they thinking?" path with the perspective of someone marketing factory rifles for: 1. A market segment begging for 277 guns that shoot heavier than 150 gr ammo. 2. Part of that market does not reload so they want factory ammo heavier than 150 gr ammo. Then the 6.8 western makes sense. Selling fast twist 270wsm rifles and or 160-175gr 270wsm ammo is not a good way to service that market. Because most of that market has no idea about barrel twist rates and what bullets they can stabilize. So that market who owns 1:10 270wsm hates your 170gr ammos 6" groups. So it's just a fast twist 270 cartridge that supports most people buying rifles. [/QUOTE]
