You better use heavy for caliber bullets,may need the extra penetration.
The only thing wrong with the 270....Its not a 25-06.

Mr. SamOlson:
See here Mr. Olson, can you not see that it is a rimmed case? I mean, how are we to get rimmed cases to feed out of a magazine properly?
And too much taper on the case as well, needs to be shorter and perhaps fatter, with an Ackley-esque shoulder.
Then it might work���
Ah, who am I kidding?
Very cool case.
Thanks for the spirit of the thread Mr. Olson, I truly appreciate it.

You guys think I'm kidding??? grinnin'
I actually just scored the brass from my Grandma. She used to stuff it full of stalks of wheat back when she lived on the farm. Neat old piece IMO.
