Holy shit, that 80,000 PSI is crazy & makes this cartridge more than equal of a .270Win, I don't like the .270Win myself, but for Human targets it will be deadly !

You would think it will wear ever thing out faster & be more liable to problems in the field with that much pressure ?

Is it like a .27/08 as I see it is 6.8X51 ?

I just wish back in the day they never invented the .270-.277 diameter & just kept the 7mm-.284 & we would be a lot better off today, I always try to get my mates looking at a .270Win to move up to a .280Rem-7mm Express or Ackley !

Yeah - barrel wear will be faster than the normal lower pressure version, but should be much better than the standard .270 - due to the amount of powder burned. The elevated pressure results could sway, bring them closer together, however a life of as little as 2,000rounds would suck.

I am guessing, because this was started and still in the process of being developed for the military, something NEW is up their sleeve..don't think the government will purchase a firearm with a 2000 round barrel life.. Makes no sense..but then, it is the government..
