My dads friend told me the other day that you can shoot a .270 round out of .30-06 is this true? I have never heard of this before
If you were to do this, wouldn't it be possible for some of the pressure to "pass" the bullet inside the barrel, since the bullet's diameter is less than that of the bore? Couldn't this potentially cause a dangerous situation similar to an obstructed bore?
Actually a 270 Win is a necked down 30-03 case. The 270 winchester case is .046 longer than a 30-06 case.A .270 is a necked down 30/06.
Are you sure that it isn't simply a result of stretching out the '06 due to necking it down, the .30-03 was long out of service/widespread use when the .270Win. was designed.Actually a 270 Win is a necked down 30-03 case. The 270 winchester case is .046 longer than a 30-06 case.
Yes, when you make 270 Win cases out of 30-06 they still come out short for the 270 Win by about .035 give or take .005. The 30-03 and the 270 Winchester have identical case lengths.Are you sure that it isn't simply a result of stretching out the '06 due to necking it down, the .30-03 was long out of service/widespread use when the .270Win. was designed.
Guy's this is wrong but I've got a 7.92X57 case which was fired trough a Rem 700 30-06
0wner said it kicked worse than he ever remembered, He only fired a 20 round box as his shoulder was tender. I checked that rifle carefully and could find no problems from .323 dia. bullets fired in .308 dia 30-06 bore, it still fires 1.5" groups off hand at 100 yds.
The mistake happened because a salesman told him that 7.92X57 was the German 30-06. So he said give me a couple boxes and I'll try them.
