Grandkids will take care of them eventually.

.270..tried,trued and it works.. Buy ammo any where in the world?
Pleasent to shoot.. wide range of bullet types and weights
Made by most or all of the gun makers
 
OP, are you all excited about these new stuff or drank the ad hype? The only Nosler cartridge that interests me is the 33 Nosler. It lacks the gross overbore of the 338Lapua and 338RUM, yet reaches what the 338winmag cannot (the 2700fps area I like for most bottleneck calibers) with the heaviest bullets. It takes advantage of the space otherwise wasted by the belt, same case length (~2.5")... but a guy named Charles Newton was developing such things before WW1. Unfortunately he did not bother necking up his 308 to 338 (or 35 down): Making such cases in smaller calibers only turns barrels into burned out pieces of pipe in short order... maybe why Newton didn't bother.
 
.270Win isn't really intended for pushing "heavy" bullets, so a 150grain comparison isn't really fair imho.

Innovation is cool, it's good that we continue to think outside the box, however with that being said sometimes you honestly can't reinvent the wheel....sometimes the reality is that there actually are only so many combinations of things which practically make sense, and that maybe we actually did get the best product all that long ago.

I'm sure some sheep hunter will be glad he lugged his 27 Nosler all the way into the backcountry for that once-in-a-lifetime shot.... hard to burn out barrels when you only pull the trigger once every couple years.

The 270 weatherby will do 3300 fps with 150 gr bullets.

And has been around a good number of years.
The literature posted on the Nosler web site doesnt even mention a comparison of the Wby.
They just cherry pick the results they are looking for.

Comparison Velocity: Loaded with a 150gr bullet, the 27 Nosler is 400fps faster than a 270 Win, and 300fps faster than a 270 WSM at the muzzle.

Trajectory: At 500 yds. the 27 Nosler drops 11” less than a 270 Win and 7” less than a 270 WSM.

I wonder what the Nosler Tax will be compare to the Weatherby Tax that shooters are willing to pay ?

In the end it is all marketing and Brand Loyalty .

Tight Groups and Warm Fingers,

I suspect you’d run into a case of severely diminishing returns. The .257 STW has been done quite a few times and while it certainly screams, for the amount of powder it burns (85grs, very similar ballpark to the full size Nosler case) it’s pretty underwhelming. Accurate barrel life is as little as a few hundred rounds. I’ve shot that in the past few days through a couple builds. While for a pure hunting tool that’s fine, it’s all a tad extreme for me, my interest ends at .257 Wby.

The ballistics are undeniably awesome and so will be the blast. It’s a tad too much for me but I can’t pretend I wouldn’t be happy to have a mountain goat client lined up on his billy with one to remove more variables, if he carried his own rifle all the way there- these aren’t going to be lightweights.

No secret I’m rather traditional but also like speed, for now I’ll stick with the .270 and 7 Mag, but can’t scoff at any of the Noslers aside from their impracticality in weight for mountain backpack work. When it’s all simmered down I like the .270/.280/.284 range of capacities and rifles, as the guns can be 6lbs all up and not tear your cheek off. The .270 Sig round is interesting, appears it may pave the way to higher pressures in light rifles. But time will tell.

On a tangent if I was building a lightweight, flat shooting rifle I’d presently make it a fast twist .25-284, but ask me next week.

Just curious. Wouldn't a 25-284 be pretty much 25-06 or 257 bee velocity. Only possible benefit i could see is a long throated short action, and long vld bullets. Very few if any exist....???

I can remember seeing 1 or 2 on the EE over the years. But yeah I'd have to agree with your assessment of velocity.

I think it may have been the same rifle over and over. That poor thing was passed around like a joint at a party ....... ;)

Velocity would be similar to the 25-06 or 25 WSSM

Fits in an intermediate action perfectly and is more efficient at turning powder into velocity than either the .25-06 or the .257 Bee, generally, it’s going to be more accurate as well but we’re talking minutia there. The Bee will still outrun it of course but at the expense of greater throat erosion. Excellent Lapua brass is a single pass to form from 6.5-284, a cartridge that dominated for awhile in long range target circles. Overall, I like the case design, and in an intermediate or long action can throat it out properly for the VLDs.
 
Sure is lame, there is nothing new under the sun.20200118_173246.jpg
