Thread: fury cases

Greetings All,
There was a short piece in either Handloader or Rifle on the .277 Fury or 6.8 x 51 a little while back which I can't find at the moment. It has a composite case and runs at high pressure. Case head and length are the same as the 7.62 x 51. Supposedly developed to improve performance over that of the 5.56. Apparently the 5.56 was found lacking at long range against an adversary wearing thick woollen clothing. Fancy that. Now that the US is exiting the country where the locals wear thick woollen clothing in the winter who knows what will happen next. The wisdom of having a very high pressure cartridge operating in countries that are made mostly of dust and grit does escape me though. Produces .270 Win performance in a smaller case.
Regards Grandpamac.
