Agreed, and as I did in the thread that I had started back then, I'll admit to being partially to blame for not doing my homework. But I believe it was Dick that had posted a picture of cross-sectioned bullets were you could clearly see the thin walled jacket in the .277 cals as compared to a much thicker wall in the .284 bullets. Nosler was being critized for the .284 bullets not knocking the 500 yard rams so they thickened the jacket but apparently ignored doing so in the .277 cals, thus a much more frangible bullet than desirable.
I would just blame it on the fact that you were using a 270 instead of a 280.
