Thread: New .27 calibre, .277 Fury..

New calibre released by Sig Sauer, if you can get past the cheesy name, pretty impressivve ballistics from short barrels.

So apart from a shorter barrel it's almost the same as the mighty .270Win.

I would like to know more about the case design.

A .270 rem mag would hose it with 150g and up.

Yeah it would but the whole point was to function in Ar15s with carbine barrels. Pretty good performance I thought.

I think I'm becoming a Fudd.

Just can't love the rifle that SIG have made.

It may be a new caliber that supplants 6.5 Grendarooni and 6.5 Creedwanger as the hottest new thing, but it's just too fugly to look at.

I guess eventually this case design will spread accros a lot of other chamberings.....another 20-25 percent safe operating pressure is really going to stoke up some calibers.

Yeah time will tell if the concept works reliably, across a variety of firearms and if the firearms community accepts it.

Would be cool with a less gay projectile, 6mm, 6.5mm, 7mm doesn't really matter.

at least it's honest about it's bullet size .277

It is fairly lightweight rifle for something entirely made of metal.

Reloadable cases?

Greetings All,
I think I am with Max Headroom in suffering from new cartridge overload. It seems like yesterday that I spotted the .350 Legend. This seems to be a stretched version of the .351 Winchester Self Loading, complete with odd ball case head size and projectile diameter, developed to game some arcane US game laws. Now we have the .277 Fury with a fancy hybrid, read two piece, case that produces its ballistics due to pressures of 80,000 psi. Cases with a stainless steel head and replaceable brass bodies were offered to hand loaders a number of years back in the US. Disappeared without trace after a year or two. Still in this post Obama US firearms sales slump it may keep the tills ringing. I wonder how much the cartridges cost. I think I will go out to the shed and load a few .303 cartridges until my head clears.

I have to agree @grandpamac. How many cartridges does the world need, the ones made 100 years ago still kill things dead.
