Take a 5.56x45 and cut it to 39 so it would be a .277x39 but on a 5.56 case instead of a 7.62x39 case

Already has been there is even ammo in the use. It is called 25 sharps. 223rem necked to 25 cal
95gn at 2850 FPS and 130 gns at 2650+ so yes and maybe. However standard 5.56 bolts and Magazines that made the 6.8 SPC's a tad undesirable. That is why people are hanging on to the underpowered 300 ACC because of the common bolts and mags.
I like the 6.8 and have two BCG's and A number of magazines but other shooters do not like hunting down the scarce hardware.
no the 7.62 bolt is larger as the 6.8 is in between that and the 5.56. I didn't want take my bolts out my AR's but here is an illustration of the cases.
Left to right a 5.56 - .277 Wlv case (based on a .223 - 6.8 SPC and a 7.62x39.

The 25/45 sharps isn't a shortened case.
Apparently this Wolverine is cut down from 45 to 39
Neat! Thanks for the pics, helps my brain sort it out better lol.
By the looks of it, you wouldn't be able to chamber a 5.56 in the .277, but it might go the other way around with the .277 in a 5.56.
It's a neat looking round that fills an AR15 niche. I'd like to try it as a 200m BR cartridge if it had a bit more neck.
Anything that keeps lightweight .277 bullet's in production is a good thing.

Yes I know it isn't shortened. But it is a 25 cal.

25 shapes would be a fun one to try out. I am loading for my 6x45 these days. It is also a pretty fun caliber especially with 105gr bullets in there
I called about the reamers and almost did it but it's basically a 250 savage. I'm looking for something more of the 25/20 in power.
This 277 Wolverine would make a great coyote round for where I live in the caliber restricted zone. Just change the name to 270 Wolverine on the data stamp.
