Heads up .277 Fury reloaders

[mack7.62]

I guess this is really the 6.8x51mm case, the 277 Fury is the weaker all brass version. I am really curious about how the rifles will hold up to the full power rounds.

You can't buy them, so we may never know.

Maybe one of the .MIL guys who is on here can make some informed statements on this topic at some point.

Unfortunately, it appears SIG is only making rifles in 762 which is ridiculous.

I believe that the stated plan was to release production rifles in 7.62 NATO first, then 6.5CM, and eventually in .277 Fury. No reason to release a production rifle in a cartridge that is scarcer than hens teeth first.

And there are rifles available in .277/6.8x51. They had that limited batch of Spears out last year that were going for over $10K if memory serves.

If you have a suitably strong bolt action maybe you could get a custom barrel in .277 chambered for it?

I’ve read comments by some barrel makers stating they won’t warranty barrels used for .277 SIG if used with 80K PSI ammo though. Can’t blame them, useful throat life is probably going to be reduced quite a bit.

Hopefully small-arms barrel technology catches up soon.

Time will tell, but precision rifle barrels where the user is expecting accuracy and reasonable barrel longevity it will be a challenge. Someone looking for .5 MOA over 3500 rounds out of a match grade barrel is probably not going to be a happy camper when the .277 loaded to 80K PSI cuts that .5 MOA life in half and the barrel is shooting 1.25 MOA at the 3500 round mark.

For military applications where up to 4 MOA is acceptable it’s not as much of an issue if over the course of 10K rounds a chrome lined rack grade barrel goes from 1.5 MOA capable to 4 MOA.

Heads up, they sold out but now have a new batch in stock and for New Years have it marked down to $66.

Mine arrived today.

Did they have stuck powder inside of them ?

I ordered several boxes and have only opened one. I checked a sampling of rounds in the open box and they are clean as new inside. No evidence of stuck powder that I can see.
