Wtf. I see this lil cartridge in my loading manual but have never heard of one. Nor can I locate a rifle so chambered. It came out in 1985. The ballistics would be perfect to replace my 22 mag for a fur friendly centerfire. 100gr .270 at 1400+fps Has anyone got one?

Good find, I was going to line a Rook rifle I have to it, that at present has a Hornet liner with a bad bore. I never got further than running into the cost and frustration of trying to turn down a .277" blank into a .435" liner. The Rook rifle looks like it's going to be a .25 ACP now. Definitely still interested in the Ren though, would be neat on a CZ 527.

Correct, the rule it was designed around was you had to use a straight walled cartridge, this was the smallest one the designers could think of that would produce the power they needed.
Ya I found an article on the net saying it was a wildcat pistol round. Thanks for the replies. I think it would be neat lil round for ditch bank coyote ambushing. I like my 22mag but a 270 ren just seems so much more fun
