The 270 REN was introduced to Wildcat Shooters in 1985 by Charlie Rensing and Jim Rock, as a great Silhouette Competition Cartridge. It is made by widing the mouth of a.22" Hornet case to accept .270" caliber projectiles, then fireforming the cartridge to the staight case by firing it in a custom barrel. Then cleaning the cartridge, resizing the cartridge, and reloading it to the finshed 270 REN product. So needless to say this is an expensive cartridge to make as you have to go thought 2 projectiles and 2 loading to come up with the finshed product. It is not just a resized 22 Hornet case loaded with .270" Caliber projectiles. |
