I started out with a .270 WIN and I have always had sort of a soft spot for .270s. I really am excited for the 27 Nosler and I think it will be a great all around magnum cartridge. I think 7mm is still the better choice because of the bullet choices and options, but this 27 Nosler sure intrigues me. I am interested to see the BC on the new .277 165 ABLR. The Berger .277 170gr EOL is impressive with a 0.662 G1 and 0.339 G7 BC, so that is another solid option. Nosler lists the 27 Nosler pushing 150s at 3300fps, and I'm sure that's with factory ammo, so handloads will probably be 3350+fps. I would think the 165-170gr bullets will be around 3200fps with reloads. That is pretty dang impressive. Honestly, its identical to the 28 Nosler with 175 Elite Hunters at 3200fps, but it's a 27cal so it's cooler haha.
