You see the craziest stuff being done to them just to sell more add ons or just to see what happens.

Yup--you got me pegged right there. lol
I do load .277 for 270 win and there is no question in my mind that it is a classic and functional cartridge that enjoys deserved popularity. I've built quite a few AR caliber spin-offs--the .277 in the 6.8 is actually one of the better "hybrids" IMO--it throws a hefty bullet (compared to 5.56) and "reasonable" velocities to make it quite potent for closer ranges. My experience has been that--except for the 300 BO--it is also one of the most reliable feeding and cycling AR cartridges. I like the grendel too--but it's a finicky configuration in my experience that demands precision adjustments for each load configuration.
