It means it is chambered for that cartridge only. NOTHING ELSE SHOULD EVER BE FIRED IN THE WEAPON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Win is abbreviation for Winchester. Full name of that caliber is .270 Winchester (developed by Winchester, so they get to name it). There other calibers, such as the .270 WSM, .270 WSSM, etc etc. Using cartridges other than .270 Win may be unsafe, or impossible. While the ammo may be loaded by different companies, it will be called .270 Winchester.
The Winchester Model 70 pre-64 in .270 Winchester is a long action. The .270 cartridge is longer than the standard short action cartridges, which typically include rounds like the .243 or .308. Therefore, the Model 70 in .270 is designed to accommodate the longer length of the cartridge.
