[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 2023823, member: 5219"] I realize that there is a certain fascination to creating your own cartridge. There are some interesting challenges in creating a 277 cal wildcat. I have to ask: Why go to all that trouble when the 27 Nosler is available? Additionally the 270 Weatherby is also close to the performance you are interested in creating. You could save money and time going this route. The only expense I would go for is a custom reamer made to your specs. Dies and brass are available. I know I am a killjoy.....but starting out with a 375 Ruger brass made by Hornady will be an expensive journey and you won't accomplish any performance difference compared to what is already out there. FYI you will have to anneal the brass after such aggressive sizing from 375 to 277 [/QUOTE]
