[QUOTE="Buckys, post: 2085084, member: 107750"] Completely agree. I think it is a huge step forward that affordable factory rifles shooting heavy 270 bullets are on their way. I can't find anything different about it versus putting a fast twist barrel on a 270wsm but there are very few, if any, manufacturers who were going to build that. If you like custom rifles, great, but the reality is that having factory rifles in calibers like 6.8 western is going to increase the diversity and quantity of heavy 270 bullets and I'm a huge fan of that. If it catches on half as much as the 6.5cm, it also means there will be lots of brass (not necessarily the case for many of the wsm's) as well as dies, etc. for the 6.8 western. I can't wait for the 270/6.8 RPM, Fury, Nosler, etc. either. There is plenty of room at my 277 table. And my 284 table. and my 264 table. [/QUOTE]
