.277 Fury versus .277 SIG Fury
[edit]Hi, should we name the article .277 Fury OR .277 SIG Fury? The cartridge is designated as the .277 SIG Fury by the SAAMI .
Non hybrid XM1186 specs
[edit]There is only passing mention of the XM1186 general purpose (conventional all brass case) round. From what I understand, the XM1186 is what would be used most of the time with the XM1188 being reserved for front line tip of the spear operations and only when necessary as it will wear out the rifles if they are fed a steady diet of that ammunition. Can someone find out what the specs are on the XM1186? Sig sells both ammunition commercially, with the XM1188 being called "Hybrid Elite" and the XM1186 just called "Elite." I believe the non hybrid version will be of more interest commercially as it can be fired in conventional rifle designs.DrHenley (talk) 13:35, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
- Available source shows that XM1186 is hybrid, but I've got the specs for 135gr elite ball in. Artoria2e5 🌉 10:02, 10 May 2025 (UTC)
Possible error
[edit]For the 140 grain, 9 gram round, the quoted specs are 825 mps muzzle velocity for 3840 joule muzzle energy. 9 gram at 825 mps yields about 3063 joule. 9 gram at 925 mps yields about 3850 joule. It therefore appears that either the velocity or the energy is off. Whoodedswan (talk) 08:26, 10 January 2025 (UTC)
- Likely rounding errors. Try doing the grain-to-gram conversion with more significant figures. Artoria2e5 🌉 10:03, 10 May 2025 (UTC)
Most of the velocity specs here seem bogus and are poorly cited 74.140.135.49 (talk) 21:12, 24 June 2025 (UTC)
Picture
[edit]Is it possible to get a picture of the actual cartridge, ideally with a further pic alongside other common cartridges for comparison (as is done on other ammo pages)? Currently we only have a pic of a weapon that shoots the 227. Most wiki browsers will be coming to the page (in part) to actually see what it looks like. Seems justified too since this cartridge likely to become very common going forward Cbe46 (talk) 21:48, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
Is the M250 really an automatic rifle!?
[edit]It's a belt fed L/MG!
