Developed A New Caliber

[Good Ol' Boy]

Can you guess which one it is...







I'm not getting anything gun related for the holidays but my main gift that I got Friday I've been playing with.

There's a .223 and a .300 Blackout on either side. I used the .223 as a reference but this was not meant to be to any scale.

So what actual round do you think it's closest to?


And Merry Christmas!

 

[Dibbs]

It's the 270 Woodout!

 

[mdThanatos]

Been a while since I actually looked at one but it almost looks like a 22-250 but with a larger bullet.

 

[ontarget]

22-300. Can I get that in beltfed?
Blessed Christmas to you all.

Ttrl

 

[Bfh_auto]

Looks similar to 7.62x39 but the taper is off.
Is it 6.8spc?

 

[Demi-human]

Can you guess which one it is...

Is it a Grizzly? I have a few hours on a lathe in the woodshop. I wish it were a metal lathe...

So what actual round do you think it's closest to?

I will wager Two Seventy Seven Sycamore, which is a blown out Six Eight.
The two seventy caliber has become quite Poplar lately.
Wait... @Bfh_auto is on to something.
Is it a Six mm Russian Olive?

I wooden know, but I'd like to know what branch of the cartridge family tree it's from.

One cannot, of course, "develop" a new caliber. Caliber is a unit of measure expressed in Metric or Imperial measure of a firearm's bore or groove diameter.

Your new cartridge is pretty cool looking. I don't have enough expertise to venture a an educated guess on it but it looks like a very handy intermediate cartridge.

Looks to me to be a .277 Wolverine. Great little cartridge.

 

[Ks5shooter]

Are you using Woodleigh bullets?

 

[WestKentucky]

It had better be a white oak precision upper if it’s an AR.

 

[Zaydok Allen]

270 Splinter

 

[rust collector]

Six-five oaken token?

Red Oak.

 

[horsemen61]

What is it?

 

[Zaydok Allen]

What is it?

Look closer

 

[horsemen61]

Yes 460 I know it’s wood I thought the op was actually trying to build a model of his new caliber I missed the point here probably just a joke I took seriously

 

[WestKentucky]

I sure wood like to know what that thing is. Been pining on what that son of a birch might be.

 

[lightman]

Thats a cool picture.

But, good luck with trying to develop something new. My oldest Son wanted very much to develop a new wildcat cartridge. I suggested that He Google Huntington Die Specialities and look at their list of dies. He quickly gave up on the idea of something new.

 

[entropy]

I can't figure the son-of-a-beech out.

Hey, I see what you did there!

 

[theotherwaldo]

Yes, but will it take root?

 

[CCWdownrangeP2]

I'm stumped!
