30-30 case.
With the work I have done on Gary's other 30-30 based cartridges should be a 120-150gr bullet around 2400-2600+ fps out of a 14" barrel.
There is a 277 GNR- (405 case necked down).
I am not sure about the 277 Falcon.

Sean is right. The 277 Falcon is based on the 30-30 case

Necked down to .270. we are waiting on the dies to get here now.
Sean is right again. The 277 Falcon was dropped due to funky

accuracy. We never could get decent accuracy with any of the bullets we tried. I may try to bring it back later but for now the only 277 we have is the 277 GNR based on the 405 case. This one is extremely accurate and powerful. So my mistake. There is no 277 Falcon.
On same note, 257 Firecat?

I haven’t heard mention on it by any Misfits. Sounds interesting. Looks to be a fun round to play with!
I wanted to develop a couple of cartridges that would work

in an AR-15 or AR-10 platform. The 257 Firecat and 366 Firecat are the two. The testing is still going on so whether they will see the light of day is still up in the air. The 257 Firecat is based on the 260 Remington whereas the 366 Firecat is based on the 308. Another that we are still working with is the 376 GNR which is the 8mm Mauser necked to .366 (9.3). More on these as we go along. All 3 may end up being chucked or may end up being bolt action rifle cartridges. I am not sure enough on them as yet, as least not sure enough to send a test barrel to Sean and waste his time.
