[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2744415, member: 116181"] I agree with Stanley, there's finally a surge in modern bullets for the .277s, and the 270 WIN would benefit from custom reamer treatment just like the 300 Win Mag does. Finagle the freebore and throat for newer bullets and there's no reason they can't keep up. You can almost always keep older cartridges running side by side with newer designs, but the older designs are hamstrung by so many old rifles being out there - so you won't ever see the ammo sitting on the shelf outside the original spec which restricts them to the handloading crowd. At that point if you're stuck handloading for a custom chamber, why not sharpen up the shoulders a little, take out some of the taper, bulk up the case capacity some... and now we just recreated the 6.8 Western. 🤣 [/QUOTE]
