.277 Wolverine

[Gordon Freeman]

Is anybody following this round? I seem to like it a lot. Kind of like a 6.8SPC but better. Much more effective than a 5.56, but not terrible accuracy like the 300blk has at longer range.

Interesting, would love to hear some feedback if anyone has shot it.

2500-2600fp/s out of a 16" & 18"
3000fp/s out of a bolt gun.

There is a good thread on it over on arfcom

It takes a lot for a round to become both common and cheap and both of those things take a lot of time, so I don't pay much attention to the newer rounds.

Yes, true. But it's a good sign when Hornady and other big names jump on it and start making factory loads early in the development.

Still less than a $1/rd for match grade ammo, early in this stage is a good sign.

300blk has terrible accuracy? Both of mine must be an anomaly.

Compared to .277, and 5.56 at longer distances? Yes.

This intrigues me very much! Mad Dog has everything you need to get rockin.

It's not a factory hornady load.
It's a hornady 6.8 bullet that mid south is using to make the ammo.

Definitely will give you a bit more energy at the point of impact, but doesn't appear at this point to be made in a subsonic round like 300bo.

I guess it's just a matter of what you need it for as to whether or not it is a good round for you.
