    The 277 Sig seems to have been designed for use in a machine gun rather than ground up as a sustainable, reloadable cartridge for hunters. The civvie market might be just an afterthought to keep it in production till a contract comes through. I'll believe it when I see Redding dies for sale. or at least on the SAAMI new pages This would be new technology, new materials, ways of assessing pressure signs, headspace control - is it off the belt?.

    It must be a cracker powder they use to get WSM energy out of a 308 sized case. And all burned in a 16".

    What sort of primers can stand 80,000 psi ?


    Ha ! Plenty of questions on this one !
    Dead is better and Moa Hunter like this.
