Case length about halfway between 300BO and 223 (1.530"); 223 parent case; .277 bullet. Shooting 90 gr Nosler Bonded Base around 2700ish, the kids and I have killed a bunch of deer, coyotes and even a bobcat or two with them in the last 10 years. Plus they are easy to load subsonics in using 270 Win bullets like the 150 grainers.
How long has that existed? I have never heard of it before but it sounds like an absolute mid size game crusher!

Game time decision for me (how much I sleep tonight). If I hunt from my front porch (very little sleep) it'll be a Henry 30-30 suppressed. If I decide walk the 75 yards to my stand (dog didn't keep me up all night) it'll either be a S&W 610 or Anaconda in 45, whichever is the closest to the top of the safe. Not trophy hunting just want to put some meat in the freezer.
I grew up on a farm, slaughtering beef, pigs and chickens. It was putting meat on the table. Same with deer hunting and stalk/still hunting, the only thing which worked or allowed by law where I was in those times. It was never fun, but served me in good stead in the Army. In later years with my place in wooded rolling hills of mid-state GA, would "hunt" with a friend from his back porch who always remarked it hardly seemed like hunting when we could smell the coffee from the house. When he visited me I would have two chairs set up out back with the wind in our favor at the head of a lane deer always crossed about 30yds out, and had a small table between the chairs with a carafe of hot coffee, and he would say again that it hardly seemed like hunting when you could smell the coffee from the house, and I'd reply, "Indeed," as we sipped our coffee. He often used his Contender .45-70 while I swapped between a .58 musket, 32WCF 1892 and my .45 Colt Blackhawk. It was simply a trip to the grocery store.
