[QUOTE="yorke-1, post: 2087659, member: 11960"] I think the easy way to compare the 6.8 Western and 270 Win is to look at numbers from a 6.5 SAUM and a 6.5-06. I bet the relative performance would be very comparable. The trick will be to compare handloads in the 270 Win to handloads in a 6.8 Western. I'd like to see the pressure data on any load from a 270 Win which will match or exceed the performance of the 6.8 Western in the same length barrel with the same bullet. What I don't really understand every time a new cartridge comes out, is the need to compare a new cartridge designed around factory ammo in factory guns to an existing cartridge with handloads in a custom barrel. The 6.8 Western seems like a great idea for the factory ammo/factory gun crowd and a way for them to get on board with the heavy bullet trend without rebarreling an existing rifle or handloading.
