Forgive me for being dense, but I cant seem to tell, is the 277 furry SA or LA?

I see it as being pretty pointless...who cares if PTG has a reamer, nobody in their right mind would chamber it and run it up to 80-100k psi in any currently available factory or custom action anyway. Not to mention the non-existent hybrid brass.

I looked for the reamer on ptg last night before asking my question and couldn't find it.

My intention was to run it in the brass version at normal pressures. I got rid of all 277 variant rifles and wish I still had one.

Comes right up using Google search.

Where can you get the all brass brass from?

Helps to search the right thing I left out Sig. Thanks

Nobody is getting 2900+ fps w/ 140s from creed/260 from a short barrel, nobody. 24-26" yes it's doable. But still operating at max psi.

2900 fps with 140s from a creedmoor in a 16" bbl would be nothing short of a blown primer. 24" bbl would be borderline. Can be done in a 26"

It is still a .277 caliber rifle. The only dope I know of north of 3060 fps is Hornady light magnum and that is a nasty throat burner. Remember, it is the person behind the gun not the tool that aims the weapon.

Arisaka action would do it

Po Ackley 1949

ALSO

SEVERAL

custom actions and 1 commercial multi logng action know will withstand over 100k psi

Except if you necked a 6.8 Creedmoor up to 277 and put it in a 16 inch barrel you would not get close to 2900 FPS safely . The steel base and stronger action allows pressures to be ran up to maybe 100,000 PSI safely. I am just guessing on the pressure we will have to wait for the official release.

Calm down the 6.8 and 277 are the same size. Lol.

This round came out of the US Army's quest for a new SAW and rifle. Army designed and provided bullets but left cartridge design to industry. This round is SIG's answer as they did everything in house.

The polymer rounds are from True Velocity (General Dynamics ammo partner) and Textron. True Velocity's ammo looks similar to a normal cartridge case but with almost no case neck and is not reloadable. Textron's ammo is a cased-telescoped round.

Out of a 16 inch barrel? and what was the pressure from a lab?

I happen to have a 16 inch 6.5 creedmoor and there's no fricken way you'll get 2900 out of it. Those guys are running 24"+
