[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 1947119, member: 63925"] VLD: Totally agree on 7's or 30's but that wasn't the premise. When you look at the .277 BC, bullet weight and potential velocity, the 1,000 yard performance is as good or better than 6.5 CM or even 6.5 PRC. But now you have heavier bullet for game, CHEAP brass, common actions across so many more platforms, familiarity with a caliber that virtually everyone at one time has touched it. The whole premise of the 6.5 is the huge BC for bullet weight etc but now the .277 has same capability with even heavier bullets. Nosler new 165 ABLR has a G1 BC of 0.620 G7 - 0.312, the 150 ABLR is G1 0.591 G7-0.298 which really gets them downrange (if the BC's map out as projected). The Berger [SIZE=4]170 Grain Extreme Outer Limits (EOL) Elite Hunter is at G1 - 0.662 and G7 - 0.339 so there are bullets now that can be extremely effective long range in the .270 with the right rifle build which is no different when talking about the 6.5's. Lastly, here is the last popcorn statement: much better on elk than a 6.5CM!:eek: BLASPHEMY![/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
