Okay...

You have produced a little chart that we are supposed to discuss with you. So let's discuss.

You don't have a rifle chambered for this cartridge yet do you?
So there is no way of knowing what the speeds will actually be then other than what your programs are spitting out. Have you been paying attention to the speculated velocities that have been spewed out the past decade and taken notes on which ones actually meet their advertised velocities? It's very few...

If you are proclaiming the ballistic superiority of this cartridge by referencing us to your little chart that you just again modified, why would you pick a .277" caliber for this cartridge when a .264" or .284" will be ballistically superior for the bullet weights you want to shoot and the cartridge's powder capacity?

Any interest in addressing these questions?


Once again i didn't pick the bullet i'm not the designer if you want to discuss why he picked what ask him the original thread is linked in my first post. I'm using his measurements hes posting up his measurements as hes doing load development so its pretty legit. When your using 10gr's more powder a 200fps jump over the 6.8spc is a conservative estimate. He has created a 6.5mm wildcat called the 6.5mm brx that had some pretty good numbers.
