So what is "handily"
At what distances in what winds? With how many foot pounds.

How much ACTUAL velocity are you getting? Vs what they proclaim?

Not saying it won't be a good round. But i hardly see anything 200 fps faster than an existing round( if it gets that much) in the arena of cartridges we are talking about as being as a "game changer"

Of course I'm also of the theory that while I have other rounds in the AR, and have shot ARs for years and probably logged more than the average AR shooter round wise, a 223 and tsx bullets do awful good to awful long distances for most folks.


The max loads typical with a 6.8 SPC are in the 27-29gr range. The 270AR is in the 39gr range and its shooting the exact same bullets. That should be a clue. The 200FPS jump is a very conservative polite estimate.


So you don't have one? So there is no way of knowing what the speeds will actually be then. At least over a few years of watching new rounds come out, well more than a few really, its been my estimation I"ll believe it when I see it.

Some do it, and many don't.

So this thing is a 30 AR necked down to .277 from what I am reading then? Yet the 30 AR is not an AR round? But the 270 is?
