Introducing....The New 270 WLFUM (WINCHESTER LONG FAT ULTRA MAGNUM)

[thriller]

Perhaps a recoil reduction system such as this might be incorporated?View attachment 373591

I am sure if you drop a dead mule recoil reducer in it it will be just fine!

Just add some lead say about 10oz should be enough. Dont forget there is a new muzzle break that has been engineered specially for this calibre. @TOBY458 you should look to a 6.5 version too

 

[bruce moulds]

or you could do a 7mm version and load it back to 7x57 performance.

Wheres the fun in that?? Your not using the vast cavern of case capacity to its full potential

We did indeed try the 6.5 caliber in our new case design. Although it was a decent performer to be sure....we found that .277 caliber was needed in order to achieve 5000 fps in our proprietary 17" double chambered barrel. Also, Craig Boddington would not get on board with advertising, unless we paid homage to the great Jack O'Conner.

Have out tried Joseph (J) Allen Smith?? Let him know I'm involved he will be in. We got on well at DSC

He pimps those Gunwerks thingies, so we're not interested in his endorsement at this time. He once used our Stainless M70 375 H&H, but now that he has gone rogue, we can no longer make use of his services.

Thats a fair point. You got to tell me though is this new round gonna make my shores?? I would love to be the guy that put it on the map in Europe (and the UK).

Any estimates on the Taylor KO?

Check out this new caliber I'm developing for Winchester. The 270 WLFUM will fire a 130 grain WW Power Point at 5000 FPS! It will be the longest range deer/elk/PG rifle ever produced! The Cartridge will be housed in the new M70 Long Fat Ultra Mag Action, and will be sure to spawn a plethora of knock off calibers, such as the 404 WLFUM and many other traditional calibers of the future. But of course, with a muzzle energy of 7216 foot pounds, the 270 WLFUM will already handle any game alive, so there won't be much need for additional calibers. And the Power Point projectile has already been proving itself in the field for decades!
So pre-order yours today!

Now toby had you been drinking with cody prior to this ?........

I want one but in 6.5 it might be better than the 6.5 cm, i love your sense of humor

ON a serious note Winchester has made over the 270WSM its called a 6.8 Western read about it.

@rdog
It runs at some pretty serious pressures of around 80,000psi and a fast twist. It would be awesome with the 180gr Woodleigh.

Bob,
Bruce left us with words of wisdom when he suggested 7 mm was an appropriate bore for such a case,

I think he was worried it would be hot on the heels of his 7mm STW

We might be splitting hairs on that one but I can't find a factory rifle chambered in a WLFUM just yet.

Given powder availability I think they should hold off on marketing th WLFUM for now, could be a thing but timing is everything.

As good as the 270 WLFUM sounds, it looks to me that it is just a necked up 223 SWAM (Super Whoop Ass Magnum).

What would @Bob Nelson 35Whelen say about a .243 WLFUM?

[TOBY458]

@michael458 you need to read through all of these comments. Were your B&M efforts taken so lightly as my creation has been??? LOL!

 

[michael458]

Toby, I will do my best to get to this, but it might be a few days......... Just going to page 1, I think you are short on caliber, this is of course before reading anything...... I think that in .500 caliber would be about right......LOL... but will get back on this.
