[QUOTE=".300 Dakota, post: 1930173, member: 106514"] As a side note, I am having a prototype made of a 6.8 Creedmoor with a special long throat that's designed to shoot 4" flatter to 500 yards than the .270 Winchester (free bore) using lighter-for-caliber bullets. The advantage is it will have less recoil, be lighter in a short action, and have the ability to be loaded with either small or large rifle primers and have brass available everywhere when the next shortage hits after the winter elections. I am giving it a 1" barrel length advantage over the parent Creedmoor at 25", and the 1:10 twist will be less inhibitory to speed. It plays on the fact that muzzle velocity trumps BC at distances to and including 500 yards. I am dubbing it the .270 SDC (Southern Deer Cartridge) because it will be ideal for most applications in the SE or Eastern US. Not so much for Western US or distances greater than 500yds because the low BC will not buck the wind out West or hold up over longer distances. Having said that, 95% of kills are made inside 500yds, if not more, so it will be a very useful design anywhere. I am thinking 110 grain Barnes, 110gr Accubond, 120 grain SST, up to 130 grain Ballistic Tip or Partition or VLD Classic Hunter. I am designing the rifle and chamber in synergy with the cartridge for optimal results. This is to be a lighter weight, low recoiling gun kept short and handy enough to be effective in brush. A specially made recoil pad will be used and a laminate stock strategically lightened to reduce weight. It will wear a fluted Rem Mag contour stainless barrel.
