I’d think the neck might be a bit short (like the .260 and 7-08) to seat such long bullets in standard magazines without compressing a whole bunch of powder.

In all honesty, you’d be better off starting with a Creedmoor or PRC or SAUM case. A sleek 165 or 170 in a properly twisted .277 barrel with enough juice behind it to get it to 2900 fps, or so would be the cat’s azz.

Hey Hornady! How about a 27 PRC specd at 8” twist along with a factory loaded 169 grain ELD-X? Maybe you could get Barnes on board to make a 145 grain LRX? And Nosler a 162 grain ABLR?

What could be a sadder way to end a life than to die having never hunted with great dogs, good friends and your family?
