    But if it's the 6.8 sig I'm thinking about they are running at 75k plus psi (with a 2 piece case), to get a normal performance for a 270 from an AR platform with a short barrel. Not quite the same.
    6.8 westerner I a bit more like the modern take on cartridges.
    Shorter fatter unrelated case (just different enought to not get mixed with 270wsm), with a fast twist barrel to get heavier, more BC efficient projectiles that work better at longer distances.
    Ala 6.5creed vs 260 and 6.5x55.
    If you don't shoot that far out it's a moot point
    BRADS, norsk and RUMPY like this.
