[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 836610, member: 2736"] Hey . are you still catching flack about building a 270 ? In addition to my love for shooting and building guns, I really like some trivia and I think you will enjoy this little tidbit. First to all of the 7mm fans (I am one of them to) when you do the conversion from MM to .000 the 270 is closer to a true 7mm (7mm = .27559) than a .284. (7.22mm = .2842). So It looks like your 270/08 is in truth a 7mm. In 1925 when Winchester decided to come out with the 270 WIN they did not like the Idea of calling it a 7mm/06 because the Chinese already had a 7mm cartridge so they named it the 270 Winchester. The 6.8 mm is very close to the .264 (.2677) so it looks like the folks that name there cartridges have played wild and loose with there metric designations. So the 6.8 (.277) is actually also a 7mm. It goes on and on. I thought everyone would get a kick out of this And hopefully they wont throw away all of there 7.22 mm rifles, to build a 270. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
