efw, Hope you understood I was being sarcastic when I described the 7mm-08 as a "new & improved" version of the 7x57. I agree, the 7x57 is the ultimate in non-magnum 7mm cartridges.

Great idea on the .270-308....just because you can....but somebody already beat you to the punch. Created in the 1940's, it was called the .270 Titus (actually the Titus was based on the .300 Savage for use in Savage 99 rifles, but it's basically your .270-308 with a shorter neck).

Still.........why the hell not!!!
