277 Sig Fury

[CJ6]

Well as of Jan 24 2022 Sig is finally releasing ammo for this. A 130 FMJ 3000 fps @ 100 yds. and a 150 Accubond 3120 fps @100 yds.. I noticed the ballistics are given at 100 yds. The 130 gr. is in a traditional all brass case, where as the 150 gr. is in a hybrid case (Stainless head/brass body). Truely impressive for a case the size of a 308.

The ultimate reloader guy has a write up of a load with a 308 win with 125 Balistic tip he says a max load is 3130 with standard components. I know we keep hearing about all this new state of the art stuff, but I am not seeing it. The log range elk hunters years ago handmade steel basses and screwed on a bass body. Daryal Castle and his guys were doing this a long time ago. I think with a engineering staff and solid financing they could do better than a bunch of hillbillies 20 years ago

I thought it was interesting that the 130 gr. load was an all brass case vs the 150 gr.. I wonder if this has to do with regards to reloading...The 130 case being re-loadable and the 150. not and being a full or close to 80,000 psi load.

When I read the first post I was thinking of the load I made for my 308 flyweight bolt gun, a 125 Accubond with H322. It's getting 3176 (at the muzzle) from a 20" barrel with no recoil. 99.6% burn rate.

I have an old mauser that is in 30-06 that i shoot 125 BTs in, that bullet doesn't have much BC but it has speed. You need at least one or the other.

Maybe Walter Kraft will check in. He can give you the straight skinny.

Yes ....Having someone in the know would be nice. If he was able too.

I have played with one but can't say much about it other than it is pretty speedy.

YUP My old hunting load was, for a BSA Majestic in the 80's - 125 Nosler, Win case, H322 (AR2206) 3100fps. Can't remember the powder load, but the recoil was on the sharp side in a 6lb rifle, and no I was not related to my wife before marriage.

What matters is how you relate to your wife after marriage.
