[QUOTE=".300 Dakota, post: 2008545, member: 106514"] I combined the 2. I necked the Creedmoor case up to .277 and set the throat depth to accommodate 110 Barnes TTSX up through any boattail 130 grainer. The result, given a 25" barrel, is flatter to 500 yards than a 24" .270 Win with 130gr or heavier factory loadings. There is even less recoil than the standard .270, and a few ounces of weight are saved with the short action profile. At .277 bore, the case become ideal for burning some of the highest energy mid-burn rate range powders out there. Speed trumps BC to 500 yards unless you are shooting flat or ground-based bullets. That is my self-imposed limit for hunting. Perhaps the biggest advantage is that brass is ubiquitous in this time of scarcity. I can also use either small or large primers. I do agree a .270 can easily be handloaded to way outperform this wildcat. Not many people use it anymore, so brass is generally universally available, also. I believe it represents the best example of speed, energy, and performance under magnum levels of performance. [/QUOTE]
