[QUOTE="LoneTraveler, post: 1218824, member: 77249"] In 1971 I was stationed in an area with 2 gunsmiths making 25 cal. wildcats. One made a 25/240 Weatherby. He liked the strong mag belted case, It was compatable with a 30-06 size bolt face and worked through the 30-06 size magazine with little work. The other gunsmith Chuck Wilcox designed and built a 25/270 Win. version. I believe the barrel was stamped 25 Wilcox. He used the 270 Win. case because it was longer than 30-06 and had to only be sized down about .020 of an inch. The case had a steep shoulder like the Ackley Imp. or the 7 MM Mashburn. He made his own reamers. Mr. Wilcox was killed in a freak lawn accident about 30 years ago. His shop is no more. Since the 280 Rem. and 270 Win. are built off the same 2.540 length case , Mr. Wilcox may have built your cartridge's older brother about 1970. Heard a lot of good things about this cartridge, Good Luck on your build. [/QUOTE]
