Berger in 270 has an even higher G 7 BC.[/B] The case capacity of the new 6.5 PRC is greater that the case capacity of the 6.5 Creedmore and approaches the case capacity of the .270 Win. The 6.5 X 284 has almost the same case capacity as the .270 Win. so . Compare .264 vs .277. [B]6.5mm 143 Grn with a G 7 BC of 315 vs .270 with a 150 grn.[/B] [B]with a G7 BC of 0f 317. [/B] It seem they are trying tp make a .270 Win, without calling it a .270 Win!!!
