[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1609216, member: 2736"] In my opinion, this is the main issue with the .277 dia bullets. The 270 was/is the original magnum. It was developed in 1923 and hit the market in 1925. It is the same length as the 280 Remington and is actually closer to 7mm than the 280 . (7 mm = .2756) Winchester did not want to use the metric system because there were already several "7 millimeter cartridges in Europe, so they call it a 270. As far as the Ackley goes, It is a modification that normally improves any cartridges performance with minimum effort and components. The 270 AI is a definite improvement in performance and case life. Bullets have always been an issue with the 270 and has not got that much better. and with all the "New" designer cartridges, the 270 will have to rely on a core following that knows the 270 for what it can do, and remain loyal.
