[QUOTE="yorke-1, post: 2089151, member: 11960"] I really doubt that's all true. The 6.8 Western case should hold about 78.0gr water, based on shortening a 270 WSM case by .080". The Federal 270 Win case that I measured holds 70.2gr of water. That give the Western a solid 10% increase in capacity. If you load both cases to the same pressure, with the same bullets, using optimal powders and optimal seating depths for both guns, and shoot them in the same length barrel, the 6.8 Western will win. I think both the 270 Win and 6.8 Western are too small to really take advantage bullets over 150gr. The best things to come out of all of this are the new heavy 277 bullets to use in cases like the Weatherby and Nosler! [/QUOTE]
