It's funny, ironic that .277 is closer to 7mm than popular 7 mags. And yet the 275 Rigby is probably the most accurately named cartridge of the bunch!

More interested in the .277 165gn ABLR that's coming out with it. It will have a claimed BC of .7 and end up .545.  Ain't that the truth! Yep Nosler has caught hell for that. They have updated the B.C.'s of the LRAB recently, claiming they are using Doppler now. Also Brian Litz wrote that in the correct twist barrel the original B.C.'s weren't that far off and several were spot on. The 270 ,150LRAB suffered the worst due to the 1/10 twist. Built a 1/9 or 1/8 twist 270 and it will be a long range contender with the 150 LRAB or the Berger 170

Be prepared for a lot of talk regarding the definition of caliber and cartridge... Dang it. I was hoping they'd fill the void between 6.5 and 7.

I know a fellow shooter that calls his 6.5 a gaymoor and his 6 a SuperGaymoor, buy this logic a .277 would be less than gay.......perhaps bi ????

Just neck a 308 Win down to .277 and you call it a 27-08 and you have a good round. Also, a 25-08 would be cool and easy to reload if we ever get in a reloading pinch like we did 10 yrs ago. I was very low on brass back then but I could still go to the shooting range and find once fired .308 cases. The last thing we need is another caliber unless it can be reloaded from polar cases like the 30-06 , 308 ETC.

Isn't the 25-08 the 25 Souper?

It's you and the bullet, and all the rest is secondary.

I didn't know there was a 25 souped. Or if we want to get crazy , a 24-06?

Isn't the 25-08 the 25 Souper? Yes. I built one 30+ years ago. Just not sure it has much over the 243. Maybe better barrel life........

I'm not getting into any .270 pissing contest. I have one and have had it longer than anything I've got. Bought it when I was 18 years old in 1966 between my Junior and Senior years in high school. I've killed a lot of deer with it. It's my go to rifle. I have a lot of different rifles chambered in everything from .223 Remington to 9.3x62. and yes one of them is a .30-06. I love them both, they both have a place in my heart and in my deer blind. But I'm interested in the Nosler.

Meh...I drove the 26 Nosler short bus for a year. Overbore was exciting....Eye Roll. Sold it a couple weeks ago.
270 Win for good ol Americana hunting, and 270 WSM for racing. Been there-done that.
Go 28 Nosler if you want to play long with high BC boolits that are aplenty....
I will probably buy one. LMAO 😆

I have used a 270 Win since 1980? has served me very well. I own stuff from 222 all the way to 416. I like them all.
Like stated above, I thought about a 270-08 at one time, but with a 7mm-08 already out could not justify.
6.8 SPC same thing, I can easily load my 270 down. Have done that and successfully taken more than a few critters.
270 WSM, could not justify over the small gain in velocity.
270 Weatherby, I am simply not blingy enough.
Now a 27 Nosler appeals to me for some reason. Serious velocity gains, and right twist.
Is it overbore? Absolutely. Will it burn barrels? yes. Does it burn a lot of powder, of course.
Will it give 270 looney's a place at the table? you bet.

It's a 270.
