With all this talk about the .270 WIN being a "Gay" round, I was wondering: Is there any well-accepted test to see if a particular chambering is gay?
I tried an experiment: I put two 30-06 rounds in a box and put on a shelf for a few weeks. When I opened up the box, there was nothing but the two rounds. I figured that was a control. Next, I had 25-06 rounds I had loaded from 270 WIN brass. Nothing. So I am left to conclude that the gayness is sized out in the conversion. I also tried 35 Whelen-- 2 rounds/3 weeks in the box produced nothing. Next, I'm thinking of taking a round of 50 BMG in a box with a couple 243 WIN rounds and see if I can make 22 LR.
So what happens when you put two rounds of 270 WIN together in a box and leave it for a while in the dark? Are there rainbows on the inside of the lid? Do you get strange stains on the inside of the box? Do you start hearing the strains of Oklahoma! being sung? Exactly what happens when you put gay rounds together?
I figure one way to tell would be to insert a most phallic of rounds- the old 45-70 - to see if it chambers (in any chamber but one so designated). If it fits, that chambering might be gay. If it fires, then you know its gay�really gay.
