........It's a .270 + 400fps ......over the range most people should be shooting game........
A couple of observations: 1) Even Noslers own reloading data shows the .270 Win can get 2900+ FPS with 150 grain bullets.....yea, maybe factory loads get beaten by 400’/sec....maybe. 2) this new cartridge seems aimed at the crowd that fancies themselves “snipers” at game animals. Like any fad it will fade after awhile, hopefully sooner than later. (700-900 yard sniping is not an ethical way to “hunt” game in my opinion). - Mike
Agree--shooting animals at 8-900 yards or more is not what I consider hunting.. frankly really surprises me that Nosler come out with this.. the 28 Nosler, based on those I talk to is doing extremely well in both custom and factory built rifles.. the 27 will not match it ballistically.. so, ????
Don't really see it doing anything the 6.5PRC or others..
Long range shooting and competitions are going to be around for a while.. it's still a very large and continually growing sport.. classes are full .. products keep coming out..and more and more long distance ranges are becoming available..one in my area is now available to 2000+ Have to be honest, I do love shooting "steel" at long distance..
I would love to have a range handy where I could shoot to 100mts hell even 500. I would love to be proficient again out to 600mts. However i don't think people will buy a 270 cal to do this when they already have the same case in 7mm, and all the 6.5's that are about. I am not bagging the 270 as I have a 270 win and 6.8SPC
If I didn't have a 270 and was getting one I would probably look at the Nosler just for something different.
Something different?? That's crazy talk...
NO, NO, just stick with the regular one.. Why would you want to try anything different for crying out loud???.
