The debate is whether it's ENOUGH better..... 20% more energy and 20% less drift.... for the same powder charge..... seems a pretty good gain to me. And, I've seen the real-world difference..... though it typically takes 1/4 mile plus for the differences to become evident. "Normal hunting ranges" don't tent to divulge much by way of external ballistic advantages.....

By the way.... if you're one of those guys who think 20% is no big deal...... I'll gladly accept 20% of your next paycheck.....


Does the .277 150lra not have a similar BC than the 162. As well as being able to out pace a 162 in most 280. Granted it's new the dead chit is no were = but the LRA is new and will no doubt begin mounting kills.
