Thread: Finally, a .277” cartridge worth having

The creedmoor did bring one advantage over the 260 and that was the bullets are seated as far out as possible so as not intrude on case capacity and fit standard 2.8 inch factory magazines . The slightly longer case of the 260 didnt fit as well and getting those long 6.5 seated meant it would fit the mag ,worked fine in tikkas and modified rems . The creedmoor was designed to work better of the shelf . There are heaps of older things that are improved /modernized and standardized which do nothing the old cartridge did but just come in a modern package that can be brought of the shelf and perform to a level that once required hand loading to and custom rifles to do . But it gives us choice and that is a fun option , Thats why ill be waiting for a 7mm prc it will do nothing that a 7mmsaum wont do but ill be able to go buy ammo over the counter and a rifle and thats what this new 6.8 western will do as well .
