There are a lot more .277 bullets today than ten years ago plus those made for the 6.8. Even so, there are lot more 7mm bullets around than .277.Originally Posted by rsilvers
How many .277 cartridges are there? 270 Winchester, 270 WSM and 270 Weatherby magnum which is obscure if not obsolete. How many 7mm cartridges are there? From 7-30 Waters to 7mm Remington Ultra Mag and too many in between to count. I think the .277 bore is a true odd ball. At the time Winchester dreamed it up 6.5 mm and 7mm were well established, they could have just as easily used one of these well standardized bores. The .277 bore began life as a marketing gimmick and if not for Jack O'Connor would have faded into obscurity. I just don't care for .277 bore. Until now. I guess since I now have one I have to love it. Fortunately I can call it 6.8.
