ask Mark Doberenski... he has talked about it IIRC... maybe call it the 6.8 DOBERmoor...

i dunno about that... the .270 has made most of it's rep with the 130 bullet... there's a ton of .26s in the same weight range that'll do any and every thing that a .27 will...

at the end of the day, one cartridge does pretty much what the other will... there'll always be those who obsess over the most insignificant details, but even most of them i think, would prefer to simply use what they have more often...

i'm pretty fond of my small collection of hunting rifles and can find use for all of them... i do not, when hunting, worry about the rifle or the cartridge that i'm carrying... i pay attention to the wind, the sun, the game and how i'll use any opportunities given to me to take it...
