[QUOTE="TRexF16, post: 2349468, member: 108912"] Thanks for posting this AZ. I found the link to the artical you quoted. I noted those are all listed factory velocities and there was no chrono of any of them in the story. [URL='https://safariclub.org/guns-ammo-a-look-at-the-new-6-8-winchester-western-cartridge/']G&A 6.8 Western story no chrono[/URL] Then I found one where they did chrono the three factory rounds, only one of which met claims. [URL='https://www.gunsandammo.com/editorial/tested-68-western/392358']G&A 6.8 Western story with chrono[/URL] The 165 ABLR chrono'ed 50 FPS less than claimed. I'm interested in this since I just built a 270 WSM on an 8" twist and can load my bullets to 3.01 OAL. By my math I have 7.5% increase in case capacity over the 6.8 Western and am just starting to work up the loads. Hoping for the "high 29s"[URL='https://safariclub.org/guns-ammo-a-look-at-the-new-6-8-winchester-western-cartridge/'] [/URL]to maybe 3000 FPS with the 165 ABLR. Just got some 175 TGKs too but haven't yet shot any. Cheers, Rex [/QUOTE]
