Wow, and here I've been mixing ammo for the two all along. Guess I've just been lucky so far. Thanks for the heads up!

How would the .277 Whelen compare with the .270 WCF and the .270 Win? I am thinking of having one built if I can find a custom chambering reamer.

I prefer the old classic 270 WCF to the newcomer 270 Win.
They don't make them like they used to, and they never did.

Now I'm confused, Is the 270 adl, more like the 270 Win, or the 270 WCF?

Bruce Agreed, but I do prefer the 270 Win over the 270 Lose.

Aha! Sam O's secret hunting spots revealed. About the area of Ohio.
Did the 270WCF replace the 270WRF?

I'm still betting on the 270 express, and next hunting season.
When are they coming out with the not so short, medium, almost magnum 270?

Has anyone ever built a .277-.280 Rem??? Perhaps that would combine the best with the best.

277 Whelen, 277/280, 6.8x64, 270 Express....now that's good stuff. Why didn't I think of that???
Imagine your grave on a windy winter night. You've been dead for 70 years.
It's been 50 since a visitor last paused at your tombstone.....
Now explain why you're in a pissy mood today.

Only problem I've had was when I shot Remington factory CLs in my WCF. They just penciled through a whitetail buck.
He died, but it offended my sanguine sensibilities and since switched to Federals in 6.8-'06 when I don't load my own .277 O'Connors.

The ADL, BDL and now the CDL are a completely different genus (not to be confused with genius...nor am I...) from the WCF and the WIN.
I saw a movie where only the military and the police had guns. It was called Schindler's List.
