It seems there is a caliber that predates the 270Win in Europe, that lets you chamber and fire 270 Win in it.
Its called the 6.7 Neuber. Or 6.7x63. Launched in Europe in 1911. With atleast a one made in 1907.
The US in the last 40 years:
Socialism for big corporations and military industrial complex
&
Rugged individualism for the individual.

You'd think J OC invented it?  6.7 Neuber (UBER), I like it.  I think 270 Uber sounds perfect.  Sorry, I couldn't help myself. AFAIK the 270 Win was developed by/for Winchester and that made it a proprietary cartridge. I certainly have read the details about it development but can't recall them. There are certainly those here who can supply all the historical details.

I always thought the .270 was developed by some ancient fat guy in a leopard skin thong named Ingwe who lives in Montana as a replacement for the hoary old 7x57 Mauser.

There's an old story that a Winchester salesman came across an obscure 27 caliber Chinese army round during his travels and this became the inspiration for the 270.
Jim Carmichel theorizes that Winchester wanted a hot new round for their then new model 54 bolt action rifle but didn't go with a 6.5 or 7 millimeter bullet because those were popular in Europe at that time and Americans wanted nothing to do with anything "European" so Winchester split the difference between 26 and 28 caliber.
Who really knows? Probably some dead guy.

Can't name the source now, but I read where Winchester went with the Chinese 7mm/277 dia. bullet instead of the Euro 7mm/284. (The 270 appears to be the truer 7mm at .275.) Main reason was to best Newton's 6.5 in speed and bragging rights for marketing reasons obviously. It took 15 years and JOC to turn the cartridge into a seller.

it would figure that a worthless round would be the one that no one can know where or remember who came up with it. LOL.
