It didn't happen except in your imagination. Dream on.

Point is there has been some form of a 7mm (284) on a 30/06 capacity case in existence since 1917-1918 (whenever) and it has not even dented the sales, popularity and big game killing performance of the 270 Winchester,and never will.



You still don't get it. Yet you continiue to argue with yourself.

It is not the caliber...it is the name. In 1917 most people had never been to the dentist let alone recongize the name Brenneke...Winchester on the other hand was a household name.

To your last statement, you really need to get over yourself.

I posted in my original reply a nudge...just to get the elbows going. Popularity has little to do with "killing performance". You really mean to be taken seriously to suggest that a bullet that is .007" difference in diameter is going to eclipse another in "killing power"?

The cult of the 270 apostles is almost as irrational as the cult of the 1/4 bore.

Lighten up. This is just a forum...and it's all for fun.
