[QUOTE="StanleyActual, post: 2744428, member: 119220"] He specifically referred to the 270win. That’s a cartridge. Not a bullet diameter. Also, he stated the he wasn’t sure why the .277 isn’t as poplar as it should be given the higher BC offerings in the .277 caliber and I stated why I believe that’s the case. 6mm and 6.5’s are used in SA calibers, lighter recoiling, have more factory support, and the rifles are built with the proper twist rates needed to stabilize their bullets. Being BC is velocity based, I’d say the cartridges it’s being used in is a significant factor in the equation. Address those issues with the the .277 and I have litte doubt that it wouldn’t be a more popular caliber / cartridge. [/QUOTE]
