It can only safely accept the 270 Weatherby Magnum if that is what it is chambered for. If you want to chamber it in some other caliber than get a new rifle. Just because two bullets have the same diameter bullet (270 or any other caliber) does not make it safe to fire it in your gun.

Never deviate from published reloading data. You risk injury or death if you do.


Is a 308 Winchester different from a 308 Weatherby?

There is no such cartridge as a ".308" weatherby, only a .308 Winchester, interchangable with the 7.62 Nato. Once upon a time, Weatherby only made rifles in unique weatherby cartridge calibers, eg. .300 weatherby, .378 weatherby, .460 weatherby, etc. Now weatherby makes rifles in many non-weatherby cartridge calibers, including the .308 Winchester. Do not confuse a rifle manufacturer with the company name that may have introduced the cartridge in which the rifle may be chambered. To further get your head spinning, many cartridge companies make cartridges (all equivalent) in the .308 Winchester caliber including Winchester, Remington, federal, norma, and multiple European companies. The short answer is yes they are the same. If you see a weatherby rifle chambered in .308, (and not .308 Norma Magnum), it is a .308 Winchester caliber (Winchester rifles exist in .308 Winchester caliber). The weatherby rifle is most likely a weatherby 'Vangard' model (a cheaper line of rifles manufactured by weatherby). Top of the line weatherby model rifles are noted for their high prices, ornate stocks and high power weatherby calibers (the .460 weatherby magnum is the most powerful factory cartridge in the world, about 80% more muzzle energy than the .458 Winchester magnum, first sold in Winchester's African model 70 rifle).

Does smaller bullets do more harm than larger bullets?

Inside the barrel the bullet will bounce around, not coming out straight. You'd be lucky to hit anything. And if you did hit something, there would be significantly less damage than with a larger caliber bullet.


Why do all Weatherby calibers have a double radius shoulder?

Rather than a sharp angle at shoulder and neck, Weatherby cartridges have a curve. This was done for a smoother flow of the gasses from the burning powder, and as you note, is a characteristic of the Weatherby cartridges.


Why does the 475 No2 Nitro Express have a significantly larger case capacity than the 460 weatherby magnum and yet has far less muzzle energy and is it possible to safely reload it hotter than a 460?

The 475 Nitro is a low pressure cartridge. The 460 Weatherby is a high pressure cartridge. They use different powders. No, you cannot reload a 475 Nitro to 460 pressures because a gun chambered for 475 would not take the higher pressure.


What is a magnum gun?

A magnum gun is a gun that will shoot a magnum cartridge, and that cartridge will have magnum in its' name. It is just a moniker that infers more powerful cartridge, but the name itself has little or no significance...other than as a marketing tool. One that will propel a projectile at significantly more velocity than a regular one.

What is the difference between 22 caliber LR vs 22 magnum?

The .22 magnum is more powerful, longer and a larger diameter than the .22lr. The magnumcartridge does not use the "heel seated" bullet of the .22 LR, and USUALLY has jacketed bullets. The full name is .22 WMRF (Winchester magnum rim fire) and they do NOT interchange with .22 LR. There have been a few revolvers built with two different cylinders to permit switching between LR and Magnum.
